In this chapter, we learn that the wychnets are "Lecherous in Nature" and that the poison that they are using to kill the dragon is actually a kind of "natural aphrodisiac" . In other words, the poison is not poison, but rather an aphrodisiac. The poison is so powerful that the dragon seems to have swallowed more of it than the poison. The fire dragon spirit appears, and the poison seems to be dead. The dragon spirit is gone, but not before she tries to kill him.
