Just before the wedding Wax is visited by the Kandra (presumably VenDell) who asks Wax for his help but is met with outright rejection. During the wedding ceremony, a water tower near the church has a structural failure and collapses, spilling water into the church that they were having the wedding, thus postponing the wedding.{{book ref|mb6|1}} Later the same day Wax is joined by VenDell, Melaan, Wayne, and Marasi, Vendell shows them a few images using an evanoscope and tries to inform them about the nature of investiture, identity, and the myths surrounding the bands of mourning.
