The battle of the beasts is over, and the totem pole is in ruins. Aunt Green-Scaled Eagle and the other animals have dodged the lions and the fire-beasts so far, but now they see a big lion lurking beneath the ruins. He's not dead yet, but he's got the body of Suanni lying around, so they can steal it and bring it back to the battle. The lions are afraid of the horns of the firebeasts, so the eagle grabs the horns and runs away.
