This chapter's epigraph comes from a conversation between the old woman and the young man. The old woman tells the younger man that his weakness as a sorcerer is the staff, which is used to cast magic. The young man, however, doesn't understand why the older woman would tell him to go after a sorcerer first, when he can just use his own strength to do the job. The two men argue about whether or not they should go after other sorcerers, but the older man points out that they're fighting for the same side they were born on, so it's pointless to try and compromise.
