A Lack of Trust

Grasshop and Sparkle find a badly injured Beerain and treat her injuries. Hunter and the Spider Riders consider negotiating with Invectids instead of fighting them. When Buguese appears, Hunter makes the offer, but ends up in a duel with Buguese instead.

Full Recap
While out exploring, Sparkle, Hotarla and Grasshop stumble upon the wounded Beerain. After bandaging her wounds, Beerain discovers that Buguese has been sent to Darklan. Unknown to the other Spider Riders, Hunter ponders how to end the war between humans and Invectids. He presents a proposal to Lumen; the Spider Riders should negotiate peace. Despite a mixed response from the others, Lumen gives Hunter permission to pursue his plan.

Buguese arrives, ready to fight but Hunter makes his offer, asking only what the Invectids want in return. Buguese is clear; hand over the Oracle Keys and all battles will end. But Lumen demands guarantees, causing Buguese to reconsider. Finally, Buguese and Hunter agree to battle to determine who will keep the Oracle Keys. The unexpected arrival of Beerain interrupts the match and she tries to reveal to Buguese all she has learned of Mantid's evil plans. Rather than listen to her, Buguese leaves Beerain in the care of the Spider Riders and departs.
