Meanwhile, Durian's assistant tells him that there has been anomalous resistance to the new regime in the north of Tanto. Rathen tells him to fuck off, and tells Durian that the Witch Prime has returned to Sezuan, leaving him behind to spy on Durian and as leader of the army, and informing him that he is now the ambassador. An individual, [[Scutter]], who was before in the Traveller's Rest Inn, then comes along and tells him about the stranger from earlier, and that the stranger was after Cantha. Durian orders Rathen to search a particular place in the forest for Cantha. | Meanwhile, Durian's assistant tells him that there has been anomalous resistance to the new regime in the north of Tanto.

The stranger reveals that he is looking for displaced planets in the sky because, because the [[Near Cluster]] is out of place, and that he needs to get to a temple. As Kitty has not been keeping watch, and instead listening to the stranger, the Sezian army have manages to arrive without them noticing. They quickly hurry out of Cantha's hiding spot, but the soldiers manage to catch Cantha. Kitty takes a gun from the stranger, and gets him to tell him what's happening. The stranger asks her to get him to the temple, but, as she wants to know what's happening, she tells him that it is a long way away, even though they are standing right next to it. He tells her that if she takes him to [[Blood Rock|the temple]], then he'll help rescue the professor, though Kitty doubts whether he would be able to rescue him, he says that he has got more knowledge than her. She then reveals to the stranger that he had actually been next to the temple all along, and the stranger proceeds to perform some kind of ritual. | The stranger reveals that he is looking for displaced planets in the sky because, because the [[Near Cluster]] is out of place, and that he needs to get to a temple.

' | Durians tells Cantha that he wants him to work for him, and shows her the tremendous amounts of technology they possess. They then proceed to have a theological argument, as Durian believes in magic, as opposed to science. He tells her that she has to work on a missile. She refuses, as she does not wish to create a weapon. He then blackmails her into working on it, by threatening to hurt Kitty. | ||
The stranger completes his scientific ritual, and standing before him is a strange door. Kitty reveals herself, and questions him. Upon being told to go home, she replies that she does not have one, as she will get arrested. The stranger reveals that he lied, and did not really intend to assist in rescuing Cantha. He then steps through the door into a vast space behind, onto the [[frostbridge]] between worlds. He tells Kitty to go home, and that if she follows him, then she will die. She continues to plague him with questions, and he continues to try to convince her to stay behind. Kitty disregards and follows him. They then jump and fly through the gap between worlds. They aim for the nameless [[city (The Broken World)|city]]. He tells her to be secret when they get there. They manage to slow down by creating as much air resistance as possible, and land, if somewhat painfully. Kitty sees some people coming, running towards them. They run away. Kitty asks why it's deserted, and the stranger tells her to head towards to hill with the lightning, which has a palace where [[The Horseman|his friend]] lives. They enter a deserted house with a window. It is full of bones. There is [[Drengis|a large angry person]] behind them. He cannot talk. The people from earlier come, and, after attempting to kill Kitty and the stranger, change their minds after the stranger proclaims them to be friendly. The person from earlier, whose name is Drengis, decides that they should kill the stranger and Kitty. However, they are scared by the phrase "where horse?", when Kitty asks it as a question. | |||
Meanwhile, at the village where an uprising had taken place, soldiers terrorise the place, until they are all killed by a mysterious stranger on a horse. | |||
