The two men discuss the location of the mirror lake, which is rumored to once have been a place where gods lived. They decide to destroy the scroll, but it is not easy to track down, and they will have to wait for thousands of years before they can do so. The men decide to transform into dragons and search for the lake, but the dragon doesn't want to reveal his true identity, so they leave him to his own devices. He tells them that he has prepared the clothes for them, and that he fears that they will be in danger if they return to the class of immortals. They discuss the fact that they have recently been escorting a member of the immortals on a mission, and he begins to cry again. The shadow guard tells him that he is not a liar and that if there is something he wants, he will bring it for him.
