The morning after a wonderful party at the Sultan’s palace, the group sets off toward the forest west of Duskhollow. Armed with a little knowledge and the sword they were given to trade, they’re in good spirits. Trix attempts to find a way for Eriluc and Garac to talk to each other, but finds it is more difficult than they originally anticipated. Wandering through the market, Rou gets the feeling they’re being watched and darts off into a nearby alley.
As he is explaining his worries to Eight and Trix, a familiar voice interrupts them. Ari, an old packmate of Rou’s, has spotted him and is itching to cause trouble for his “new pack”. At first Rou feels conflicted when Ari decides to tag along, as she had been his closest friend. Their constant aggression and belittling of his choices, however, leads him to stand up for himself, Eight and Trix. When he tries to appeal to Ari’s former innocent self that she lunges in attack.
