This chapter opens with a flashback to the events of the previous chapter, in which we learn that Bellbird has been taken to a prison, where he is being fed to the monster. The flashback is interrupted by the arrival of Fuxi, who has come to tell the story of Bellbird's journey to the prison. Fuxi is furious at Bellbird for taking him to such a dangerous place, and she calls him a "brat" and a "snobbish brat." She calls him "lady gold" and demands that he leave her.
