Rou and Trix leave the Dread Wastes and the end of the Cragsward Mountain range. As they enter the plains they see a swarm of butterflies, which offers a moment of peace after Eight’s loss. The pair set up camp after a long day’s travel and reminisce about their journey with their former companion. Cela even joins in and shares the full story of the incident in Isha. In the morning, they are awoken by the sound of horses and people.
They find that Indy & Co, sans Indy, are returning from the fortress with a contingent of the Sultan’s army. They learn that, thanks to their connections, Indy & Co. were able to convince the Sultan to help them and raided the fortress while the party dealt with Erdir. The children were able to be saved but the Emperor somehow escaped. The pair join the contingent for a time, separating at Duskhollow, and eventually use the teleporter to get to Eulela. They travel from Kidohlva, ransacked and evacuated, to Liam’s manor near the remains of Pineview. As they draw close to their ally’s home, they spy a group of guards escorting an elf in a cage.
