There is a series of misunderstandings, playful banter, and unexpected revelations. The episode begins with a frantic search for Noah, whose whereabouts are unknown. Amid the chaos, it is claimed that Mount Sycret has moved. Noah appears, and surprisingly, he has a "Creoder" with him—a terrifying creature known as the lord of Mount Sycret.
To Raeliana's astonishment, Noah presents the Creoder to her, leading to speculation and misunderstandings among the onlookers. They believe that Raeliana wished for a dragon, a suspicion further fueled by Noah's playful teasing. As Raeliana tries to clear up the misunderstanding, she gets increasingly caught up in the chaos surrounding Noah and his unexpected gift.
After these events, Noah and Raeliana share a private moment in their home, where they argue about past misunderstandings and misinterpreted actions, including instances where they were caught watching each other sleep. Their quarrel continues, with Raeliana accusing Noah of fixating on past mistakes. After a heated exchange, Noah promises not to bring up these incidents again in the future—a small victory for Raeliana.
However, the episode takes an interesting turn when Keith Westernberg, Noah’s assistant, voices concerns about Noah’s strange behavior. He questions Noah about his intentions toward Raeliana, hinting that he also has feelings for her. Noah, however, rebukes him and firmly reminds him of his place.
In a parallel storyline, a determined lady named Vivian Shamal is shown leaving the mansion and returning to her residence. The reason for her departure becomes clear when it is revealed that she will not be the one to light the sacred flame in the temple this year—that role will now fall to Raeliana.
In another subplot, a student named Wade Davis struggles to convince the head of the organization, High Priest Heika Demint, to participate in a monster hunt to raise donations. Despite the fierce back-and-forth, Wade manages to persuade Heika by appealing to his vanity and emphasizing the importance of his appearance to the nobles.
The episode ends with Raeliana and Noah preparing to depart for the temple to make arrangements for the sacred flame-lighting ceremony. Raeliana receives a letter confirming that a student named Beatrice Trancet did not attend the Fyatt International School of Theology, as she had believed. This surprising revelation leaves Raeliana pondering the impact of her survival on Beatrice’s fate.
