It's morning, and it's time for the next chapter. The narrator tells us that the cicadas are busy, and that the Prince's attendant is there to help them. The two of them decide that they need to hurry up and get back to their mission. First, they've got to make sure that they don't get lonely. They're not going to be able to do this alone. They need to get their sense back, and they'll need to stop praying and just get on with the mission. They also need to figure out a way to communicate with the Prince, since he's not around yet. First off, they need a messenger. They can send a message to him, but they also need someone to watch over them while they're at it. The messenger will be stationed at a place called "Mina Strannika" , where the Prince will be staying for the rest of the day.
