Episode title is the 5th episode of Alter.

Plot synopsis
The Master Guard explains to Linn how Vesper died, and made a deal with the Necromancer. The deal was of Vesper giving up his freedom to get a second life. However, the resurrection is imperfect, and there are many problems with Vesper due to this. He continues to describe how people revived by the Necromancer are known as Alters, as Vesper bursts through the wall, knocking the Master Guard into the nearby forest. Vesper requests the Blue Pearl back from Linn, and shoots a blade at the Master guard, who blocks it by throwing a stick. Vesper jumps at him, and they fight. At some point, the Master Guard creates a magic shield, and Vesper comments on it being unexpected. They keep fighting, and the Master Guard describes an Alter being at the castle unexpected. Vesper says that they hadn't met, and wonders why the Master Guard thinks he's an Alter, to which the guard replies by explaining that the three dots on the BlackBird are the symbol of the Necromancer. Vesper accuses him of knowing too much ("Royal guards aren't supposed to know that much about us"), and the Master Guard claims to have once been part of another army. The fight resumes, and eventually Vesper comes close to being defeated, as the BlackBird runs out of power. Linn darts into the scene, cutting the Master Guard in half. She asks Vesper what was going on.
