The young narrator is in a dream in which he is in the dark. He asks the young narrator how he came to be in the dream. The narrator tells him that he is a fool for coming to the dream in the first place. He tells the young man that the dream is a fairy land. The young man asks the narrator if he has a castle like the prince does, and the narrator says yes, but that the tools of hunting cannot be used temporarily. He also tells the narrator that he will not take part in parties of princes or princesses of different countries, because that would be too much like a party of death. He says that he can forget those he does not want to recall in this way, because a prince is a person who can be missed at any time. He adds that he cannot keep this in mind, because he is afraid that those who suffered will appear again, and that he doesn't deserve the things that he has suffered.
