Wander appears soon afterwards, his eyes now and totally pale skin and two horns coming out of his head. Wander sadly meets the final colossus alone, and the group led by Lord Emon comes to the temple shortly before the last idol crumbles. Sensing the impending fall, Agro throws Wander to safety on the other side, sacrificing herself as the bridge collapses and she falls into the river many feet below.
