This news prompted questors throughout Sapience to search for the staff on behalf of each successor, but for a long week there was no luck. However, Catarin too had received a vision, and with Pyramides' help she made the perilous cross-city flight to the Kings' Tomb to continue her search. As Pyramides defended the entrance from Mycalian soldiers, Catarin searched for the staff until finally, at the last moment, as Pyramides began to fear he would be overcome by the enemy, Catarin emerged from the tomb with the golden staff held aloft as the true Queen of Seleucar.
