arc 10 will primarily be about The Squad visiting a guild up in alaska with infinity for Important Business

the guild is a research base + a search and rescue facility. it only has a handful of member (3 in total). those include:

stygia, a darkness spirit and the brains of the operation. her main animal forms include a malamute dog and an orca whale

selkie, an, uh, selkie (which is a seal-human shapeshifter). he doesnt have any arms and is a rescue kid. selkie cannot speak or really communicate, but he can understand and follow orders with surprising efficiency.

the leader is a demon (polar) bear, but more abt him later lol ;)

aunora and stygia will butt heads over their very different personalities and viewpoints

also, its the dearly wished for aunora and matthew arc. with a subplot of victor and seraph character development

and just to top it off: its an arc that contributes heavily to the main storyline
