In this chapter, the monster explains how he came to be. He tells the audience that he was once a happy man, but that he had to leave his family and his friends behind in order to escape the "absolute darkness" that was enveloping them. He was blinded in one eye and had to flee to Spain to seek out the magic that could help him survive the darkness. The vision drove him humans, and she rewarded her efforts with him. Then came the flames, and he gave the monster the power to "survive whatever catastrophe could fall this plane" . The monster tells the reader that the "bloody little turd" is giving toio information, and that the body still does not know if it is a shark or a rhino. He says that he will have to kill the "poor fool" if he does not get revenge on the "witchblade bird"
