On the 6th of April, newly appointed Sunseeker Max Fireheart and the Lord of the Phoenixes Joshua Pendragon were traveling to the Phoenix base by carriage. However, the trip was cut short when their carriage suddenly tipped over. Dark Followers showed up, including Dark Lord Noah Pendragon and Dark Baron Henry Chimera, which escalated into a duel between the two allegiances. However, Noah managed to Appareo away with Joshua in tow to a quieter area and tried to convince him to cut ties with the Ministry and the Auralocks, as they may still be corrupted and under the influence of Shakti. Joshua believed that there’s something else afoot that no one fully understands yet. Noah mentioned that the Auralocks were the ones responsible for impeding their travel to the Phoenix base, but as to why, it is still unknown. After that, Noah and the Dark Followers left, and when Joshua and Max returned to the base, Phoenix Embersage Arabella revealed that all the Shakti files were missing.
