This chapter's epigraph comes from a poem by a famous poet, Henry David Thoreau. The poem is about a young man who goes on a journey to find his father, who has died. The young man asks his father how far he can go, and the young man replies that he will only find out in a battle. The next question is about whether or not a chief is the leader of the village. He replies that the first quest was about finding two villages, but the second quest is about finding three villages. The third quest is to find a branch of the story where they can transport anything, and they can complete the quest as long as the cargo is recognized as cargo. This is because once they reach the llama castle, they cannot come back to them. The three prisoners are only children, and unlike them, they will be dead if they die. They were trapped in a cave the night before, and since they cannot return to the kingdom, they have to go to the castle. The only thing they can do is write a letter to the king asking him to declare war on Cortonel.
