His pursuit of Bleeder waylaid by a dozen armed men, Wax was convinced that she must be aligned with the Set. Wax listened as Bleeder spoke in his mind of her plans to kill the governor and free the city from Harmony’s influence, but first she claimed she would need to murder Wax’s father. Guessing that she must have been threatening Lord Harms’ life, Wax raced to get the old man to safety. Finally believing he had arrived one step ahead of Bleeder, Wax then reported to Governor Innate to fill him in on the dire threat to his life, only to discover that during his absence, Bleeder had brutally killed [[Father Bin]], the [[Survivorist]] priest who was to perform his marriage ceremony to Steris.{{book ref|mb5|12}}

Seeking more information on Bleeder, Wax enters the museum in the [[Field of Rebirth]]. Locating the secret path through the historical [[Atium]] mines, Wax entered the cavern leading to the Homeland, and encountered [[TenSoon]], legendary wolfhound of the [[Ascendant Warrior]]. TenSoon told Wax much of Bleeder’s history and showed him a form up and desecrated copy of the [[Words of Founding]], the product of one of her last acts before leaving the Homeland and evidence of her descent into madness.{{book ref|mb5|20}}
Wax and TenSoon found themselves chased from the Homeland by the sudden appearance of deformed humans under Bleeder’s Hemalurgic control, but not before Wax came to realize the full scope of her plan. She didn't want to simply kill the governor, she wanted to incite a city-wide riot.{{book ref|mb5|21}} Wax immediately returned to Innate’s mansion, intent on saving his life once and for all. After entering the governor’s study, Wax noticed a carefully placed gumball, which he recognized to be a sign of trouble, left for him by Wayne. Immediately figuring out that Bleeder had been impersonating the governor the entire time, Wax pulled his gun on her, but she opened fire on Innate's guards and escaped out the window.{{book ref|mb5|22}}
