In this chapter, we are introduced to a new character, the cat, who is a member of the Council of Elementalists. He is a small creature who has been brought to the Council by the Council's inspector. He has been sent to collect information from the Council, and he has been given the task of gathering information for the Council. The cat asks the inspector if he would like to meet with him, and the inspector says that he would, but that he has other things to do.
