This chapter opens with a description of the healing of the wounds that Caius has sustained during the fight with the dragon. Caius is grateful for Caius's kindness and says that he has been thinking of him all the time. He asks Caius to stay with him to rest, and Caius replies that he will find some wood for a fire. He tells Caius that he is not afraid of the dragon, and that the wound on the dragon's body is 50 times worse than the one on Caius. He says that the wounds are from helping Caius fight the enemies, and he says that any friend of Caius should be a friend of his. He also says that his name is Caius ri, and his identity is that of his brother.
