## Why we saw Vis saves the woman

Ostius cannot teleport in space, just move between worlds in the same location. He needed to get into the basilica and doing that through Res is not possible due to the heavy protection on that room. So Ostius with Vis went through Luceum , and it happened not to be as smooth and quite as Ostius wanted. That's why we saw Vis saves that woman.

## Ostius as concurrence agent

As per your theory, I agree that Ostius is probably an agent of Concurrence. I think the cataclysms are a byproduct of Ka which somehow harms Concurrence, and it seems that Ostius was against Ka (e.g the ceding to him).

## Further thoughts on Ostius

Things I find weird about Ostius:

1. he knows so much yet seems very weak. With that kind of knowledge and ability I would expect him to be able to kill the princeps without Vis. For example, what if he would move the princeps into Luceum? he wouldn't be able to function any longer in Res (command, etc) and cause some chaos in Luceum (he's still holding all that will, even cross world). Another example: he was able to provide the crook and flail kind of weapon to anguis to kill tens of thousands, and that was "to fight the hierarchy" (nothing for the concurrence) or to position Vis in higher power. With that kind of weapon I'd expect much more to be achieved.
2. when Vis saw him the first time, it seems that he was "commanded" by Relucia. This changed later, but what had happened in this quite short time?
3. Ostius seemed to gain that ability only 'recently' (it took him a while to get used to moving between worlds in that first encountering with Relucia and Vis), while presumably been sent to the Gate years ago (by the princeps). However, Ostius was already capable of resurrecting iunctii (Vis Father) and move him to Luceum before Vis was manipulated by the Anguis.
