The Foundation has created a new weapon to battle the Thanatos, an anti-Thanathos artifact called "Jinx". The Aube Hunters are invited to see a demonstration of Jinx's awesome power. Director Yorgo declares Jinx to be the future of the world and the end of relying on the Religious Organization and the Silver Wood Knights as well as the Queen. Erenfried gloats that he is getting more glory that Rayne, recalling moments from the past of Rayne outshining him. The demonstration goes well until more Thanatos show up and the Aube Hunters are forced into action as part of the town is destroyed. Rayne later reveals to the group after a confrontation with his brother Yorgo that his Purifying Ability is not natural and is a result of a self-experimentation. It was shortly after the experiment that he left the Foundation.
