While Kastalia was searching, a white bat was spotted in the area of Tasur'ke. The Order, remembering the visions, and not displeased to have an object upon which to vent their frustrations, seized and imprisoned the bat in a cage, and passed the time awaiting Kastalia's return by jabbing it with various sharp objects, mocking it, shaking it upside down, etc. The bat, speaking, viciously defied them, boasted of its trimuph over their Goddess, and spoke in grand terms of its master's power. By this point Tavarius had been revealed to be [[Slith]] by a [[Mithraea|Mitran]] ritual, so there was little doubt as to the identity of the creature's master. It was clear that Slith, probably with the aide of [[Isillinde]], had made arrangements to prevent the Goddess from reacting to his interference with Her realm. | While Kastalia was searching, a white bat was spotted in the area of Tasur'ke.

It became evident that Slith's concern was justified. Though caught by the power of the great bat, the Goddess's final effort had resulted in the creation of the magical net. Not only did this enchantment subdue the Nychtaur, but it also served as the bridle by which the pregnant nightmare could be led to safety. It was the offspring of that nightmare that ultimately shattered the ward of power and foiled Slith's plans. | |||
After a few more months of waiting, Kastalia returned, bearing Her unconscious mother in Her arms. Both relieved and alarmed, the Order quickly had the Goddess placed deep in the safety of the inner temple, there to peacefully sleep out the remainder of the eclipse. Shortly after the night was lifted, the visages returned and the Goddess awakened. | After a few more months of waiting, Kastalia returned, bearing Her unconscious mother in Her arms.
