The group had gotten down, refueled, and gathered their resources.
They spent three days at the stop point, and once they were done, they picked up and continued on their journey.
Elder Celine had previously mentioned three zones of danger they might encounter.
The first was the EiD Zone, which they had already survived.
The second was a zone that had gained a reputation for frequent and unexplained disappearances.
Unfortunately, they crossed paths with one such group, which succeeded in abducting them and taking them aboard their ship.
Isah, a rare beast—a Frost Wyvern—had eventually been taken and experimented on, while the rest of them were locked away in prison cells.
Void had managed to escape seven times from his cell, but couldn't succeed in freeing the others, nor reach Ryuk before he was finally locked up in a light cage for good.
Ryuk himself had been asleep through it all. As a result, he posed no threat, and thus they locked him away, too.
