Istavan reunites with Rinda, Remus, and Suni. However, The Mongauli find out the hiding place of the Sem and surround them at night while they are sleeping. The Sem are surprised by this attack, and, after a short fight, they try to flee. Suni falls into the pits of the canyon when trying to protect Rinda and Remus from Astrias. Luckily, Istavan prevents Astrias from harming the twins. With the Mongauli army pursuing the Sem, all seems lost. At that moment, Guin arrives with the Lagon and counters the Mongauli, causing them to retreat. Suni is revealed to have survived, and Guin thanks Istavan for watching over the twins.
