This chapter's epigraph comes from the opening lines of Act IV, Scene 1 : "It's a battle you tell ! . . between women ." In other words, it's not a battle between two women, but between two brothers. In this case, the brothers are brothers, and the battle is being fought because of one of them. The other brother, Fang, is the leader of the undead, and he's the one who's trying to keep his brother alive. He's also the guy who tricked the undead into thinking that they were going to die anyway, and tricked them into believing that he was going to kill them anyway. Fang's brother is a liar, and Fang is mad at him.
