This chapter opens with a description of a talking dog. It's not a dog, but rather a talking beast. The talking beast says that he's the guardian of all the elementals, and that he has lost his power, but that he is still the "proud guardian beast" of the beasts. The dog asks the talking beast why he can't enter the place, and the dog says that it's because he has stained his hands with a curse. The king of the land called this place "the prayer fragment" . The prayer fragment is a stone that was once made by a young woman, but it was transformed into the stone that we see now. This is because the young woman was "purified" by the spell of the goddess Leticiel. This means that the stone was made by the goddess herself, not by a human being. So, let's just say that the girl is a bit of a mystery to the dog. He smells her, and he can read into her memory. He asks the dog to bite him, but the dog doesn't bite him. He tells the dog that he knows what's going on, and says he'll end the whole thing in his next life. He says that when he is reborn again, he will have forgotten everything, including the fight with the beasts, and will be able to focus on his own future. He wants to know who this girl is, and why she has the "purifying light" in her.
