Benri has many, almost perfect, copies of himself from Mirror of Silence. Therefore, he himself should be relatively safe, as he would be hard to track. Currently, he is engaged in business negotiations on a luxury cruiser. Suddenly, the cruiser is attacked by the [[Iron Legion]]. His bodyguards begin to call for help but receive no response, and Benri begins to realize the amount of danger he is in. He calls for his staff and casts Mirror of Silence on the guards bullets against some Pawns. After defeating those, a Reaver flanked by two Shepherds break in. Benri tries to think about a way out when the Reaver bows and offers an invitation for negotiation with the Iron King. Shaken, but trying not to show it, Benri begins to talk with one of the Shepherds, who shows him the contract guaranteeing his safety if he cooperates. Benri analyzes the contract for a few minutes, and eventually agrees, realizing there is no way out of the situation. Internally, he curses Varic.

The group falls into a trap made by a Bishop meant for her, and Sola prepares to fight, believing there will be no survivors. Suddenly, a Visiri punches his way in, with an Archmage following. Varic, the Archmage, stops an attack. Sola underestimates them, feeling that Varic is too unconcerned, and the Visiri too stupid. Varic then stops the Hive from self-destructing.

Sola hands Varic her Pyre, and tells him to cover the young girl's eyes. She tells Raion to not stop her, and then she kills herself with a gun. Raion tries to stop her, but Varic stops Raion. Sola revives at the Pyre, and reassures the girl. She questions Varic on the durability of the barrier, before showing the plan to return to her ship.

With that, Sola properly introduces herself, and Varic extends an invitation for Sola to join the crew of The Last Horizon. He tells her they intend to wipe out the Iron Legion.
