The immortals gather for an assembly. They are surprised when they see that a mortal called the meeting. As the mortal speaks, they realize that he is the king of vice, Volos, in a mortal’s skin. Volos tells the immortals that they must punish Death for cheating at the tables. Volos says that he has taken Death and plans to make him pay for his cheating. Volos tells them that he has the game’s ledger and that he will keep their secrets if they work for him.
Gabriel and Raphael speak to an assembly of angels and reapers. They explain that Death is missing and that they must find him. Cal and Mayra meet in the middle of the meeting hall, barely touching each other’s hands. Raphael notices, and after the meeting, he summons Cal and Mayra to meet with him and Gabriel. The angels remind Cal and Mayra that they cannot have a relationship. Mayra makes fun of the angels, knowing that they are corrupt by running the game.
During the game, Death takes a secret from his opponent, even if Death loses. In the game against a young demi-god, Death promises immortality but takes away the demi-god’s ability to speak the truth.
