Doors and windows suddenly opened across Utopia and Backlund, displacing Wendel and Monica from the places where they had fallen asleep.

He devised a risky plan to steal Antigonus's fate, but first needed water from the River of Eternal Darkness, and awoke after the Goddess promised to provide a collecting item.
