After she spends the night in Quil’s tent, Aiz’s relationship with him grows more intimate. As they reach Nur, he tells her he must return to his aunt. Aiz convinces him to tell her what’s happening, and he says that there’s been a massacre among the Kegari perpetrated by Tiral. Though Aiz tries to get Quil to let her come with him, he refuses, and they fight.

Laia arrives to bring her to the Kehanni of Tribe Nasur, interrupting the argument. Though Laia wants to keep Ruh behind, Aiz convinces her to let him come along at the urging of Mother Div. They meet with the old woman. Upon hearing the story, she says she recognizes it, but not the ending with Mother Div imprisoned. When she asks where she learned this version, Aiz finally reveals the book. Laia, recognizing it, accuses Aiz of lying to them and leaves with Ruh. Aiz attempts to recover from the setback, but Elias confronts her about lying to them and putting his family in danger, then banishes her from the Tribe.
