Conflicted, Thanos returns from the Fen to meet his brother the next day, hopeful that he will be willing to cooperate with the Fendwellers and Vera to find a balance between their worlds.

Before he arrives to find his brother, Thanos hears the bellowing chants of Sindr’s men as they carry through the trees, and he rushes to find them

Ne aveas Mortem
Non dat is pacem
In enim morte
sciemus morsus
quos reliquimus

*Do not welcome Death
He offers no Peace
For even in Death
We will know the pains
We have left behind*

Just as he came
So he shall go
In woe, in pain, in poverty

Sindr: Brother! Come, come! You are about to see what we can really do!

Thanos: (rushing to meet Sindr aboard his newly assembled vehicle) Sindr wait, I need to…

Sindr’s vehicle takes off as soon as Thanos climbs aboard, followed by the rest of Sindr's company. The vehicle swallows the forest in front of it, collecting the foliage in a massive chamber. Vein-like tubes carry the glowing emerald energy to a bank of cylindrical capsules that capture the magical ooze. Thanos becomes mesmerized by the spectacle...

Sindr sings:

Have you ever felt this way before?
Can you feel the power surging through your soul?
And once it’s over, you’ll want more
Can’t you see it’s what the earth is for-

Can you hear the sound of hunger rise?
We could bring an end to all those mournful, helpless cries…

Indeed, it was intoxicating, Thanos had never felt so powerful, but he saw the trail of devastation left by his brother’s machines and knew that he must try to stop him.

Sindr’s men sing on as they continue to work

Take then good heed
Heed To your end
For as I say
So it shall be

Thanos approaches Sindr, imploring him to look back at the destruction he is causing, but Sindr is drunk with power and won’t listen, he states:

We, the paragons of creation
We, the arbiters of change
Was this not the dream we shared
When we were young and unafraid?

But you saw her there,
Gentle eyes, tempting stare;
And still you’re bound by her

Thanos is angered and confused by Sindr’s accusation; that he is under a spell by Vera, he sings:

No, no, not bound but held
And you needn’t think this way

He reminds Sindr:

We, were but children you and I
We, thought, as only children think,
This world was ours to conquer,
And its blood was ours to drink

How far you have wandered,
How deep lie your pains.
Bask in this eternal summer
Revel in Morning’s glow
Join me on silted shores once more

Sindr scoffs at Thanos’ plea, but as he and his men finish their first day, Sindr sneaks off into the woods to visit a beloved place before it is destroyed forever. Thanos’ words haunt him as he goes, and he ponders:

How long have I labored
How deep lie the crusted jewels of my innocence
