In this chapter, Elzbieta and the other members of the Magic Council discuss the dissolution of their organization and the disappearance of their master. They are worried that the new council will not be able to keep up with the changes in the Magic Kingdom, and they decide to rescue the old man from the Council's defensive line. They also discuss the fact that they are now councilors of the Council, which means that they have the authority to negotiate with the other Council members.
