Though there was general relief at the departure of the Nychtaur, Ourania was still missing. To add further worry, the Order had begun to be assaulted by visions of a horrible white bat tormenting a sleeping Goddess. Going to Ourania's daughter, [[Kastalia]], Goddess of Lakes and Rivers, they begged Her to aid Her mother. The Goddess agreed, and set off on a journey into unknown planes. | Though there was general relief at the departure of the Nychtaur, Ourania was still missing.

While Kastalia was searching, a [[white bat]] was spotted in the area of Tasur'ke. The bat inexplicably remained in the [[Garden of Whispers]], particularly around the Garden of Moonlight, attacking and chasing Ouranians on sight. Determining it a possible source of their troubles, the Order imprisoned the bat in a cage. Within its confines, the bat boasted of its triumph over their Goddess and spoke in grand terms of its master's power.

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, a [[unicorn]], that ultimately shattered the ward of power and foiled Slith's plans. | It became evident that Slith's concern was justified.
