The lord of Carrion tells the halfwolf that he would never have dared to kill his own niece if he had known that she was inside the witch's chambers. The halfwolf tells the lord that he knows he is down on the island, but that he must not go to the island because the lord will trap him. He says that he has seen a tooth like the one in the image in his dreams, and that he doesn't want to get caught in the trap. The lord tells him that he is not the only person who wants to reach the island. There are treasure hunters, miracle seekers, and the hopeless, he says. He tells the captain to wait until the ship arrives.
