This chapter opens with a warning about the moon-haunted hermits. It's the second time in a week that the hermits have been in the news. This time, it's a case of "moon hermits" , and the victim is still missing. Nyx is worried about his mom, who's getting worse. A witch recently came to the house, and Nyx says that the witch doesn't seem like the kind of person who'd be a threat to his mom. He's going to use the witch's help to find out what happened to his dad.
