The pterodactyl [[colony]] is on a [[rock]] floating in the [[Earth]]'s [[sky]], held above the [[poison]]ous [[the Cloud|Cloud]] by the [[Wildfield]]s, psychic forces released from the Earth when it was hit by [[Briggs's freighter|an object]]. Celethua and Ixotta privately discuss the possibility that Peter has been brought back by the [[Wyrmcaller]]s as a [[sacrifice]] to the Wyrm or as part of a [[revenge]] plot and Celethua believes that he could be their saviour. Peter, overhearing them, agrees to help and Ixotta takes him on a [[mulo]] after giving him one of her people's telepathic pendants to wear on his head as they do. During the [[flight]], Ixotta warns Peter not to use words that the pterodactyls cannot understand as it hurts them and confuses the mulo. | |||
Ixotta takes Peter to her home of [[Kahathli]], a [[sky colony]] in the [[Farm Belt]], and introduces him to [[Choculum|Padra Chocullum]], whom Peter cannot understand due to him having been born before the Cloud's formation. | |||
