In this chapter, the reader is introduced to a new character named "horadric." He is a monster who has been living in a prison cell for the past ten thousand years. The reader is shocked to learn that the monster has been able to open a shield to protect him from the outside world. He also learns that the shield can be broken by the diamond, which heals the wounds on the wearer's neck. He wonders if the shield is being used to trap the reader in the prison cell.
