Panel 1

[Pilcrow is a single eye surrounded by circles of feathers stretching into the void.]

Pilcrow: "When Zenthra’s eye unveils the sky, amidst the haunting cries of Vylix..."

Panel 2

[The Asterism and Pilcrow now appear to be in a kitchen in the Black Manor. She is in her form as an anthropomorphic flamingo with three eyes, wearing teal pants and a button-up shirt. He is an anthropomorphic crow in a light blue button-up shirt. The ASterism has ingredients and a cookbook, and looks annoyed.]

The Asterism: “Pilcrow, why are you in the pull of a ponderous prophecy right when we're working on this wondrous recipe of Eclairs of Evenloch?"

Pilcrow (with strange eyes): "...the Eon Spire shall pulse and quiver, as darkened seas of Xyloth deliver."

Panel 3

[The scene is a strange hue of blue. Pilcrow's voice is darker, and his eyes large and swirling.]

Pilcrow: "Untethered, Veil of N’athra sways, marking the dawning of the Halloways..."

Panel 4

[The Asterism interrupts him.]

The Asterism: "Stars and destinies can wait. If these eclairs aren't done by the Equinox Equilibrium..."

Pilcrow (apologetic): "Sorry! I’ll set the timer."
