Vance is studying his scrolls when you return.

"Osiris, the Forest, the Pyramid," he says. "There are connections here that go beyond simple prophecy—"

He stops abruptly, then whispers in the silence.

"As Guardians fall in the Trials, this Lighthouse chimes a dirge. Can't you hear it? Here, in the shadow of the Pyramid, the tones have grown richer."

He tilts his head for a moment, his mouth held in an open smile.

"There. It is the song of life and death."

Knowing there is much to be done, you leave Vance to his studies.
