Battling her sibling, Atinai was able to restore Lightray, but in rage, M'Duus transformed Atinai's beloved owl Narva into stone before disappearing. Together, Lightray and Atinai transformed the owl into Atinai's airborne chariot and observe the city, once more clean and free from the influence of evil.
