In this chapter, we are introduced to a number of characters who have come to speak with the ghost of Teta Elzbieta. First, the ghost tells us that he has come to tell her that she is no longer a part of the "sanctuary of blood" and that she must "live as a human -- weak and powerless" . He also tells her that the significance of the windtale is that she will be stripped of her immortality and will have to face the judgment of men.
