Soon, the ''Dream'' reaches Aneas. While the ship (along with Kiru and Six) stays in orbit to detect any Sloathe ships approaching, most of the crew begins crossing the mighty Anacon river on longboats. While doing this, they encounter an Anean "pygmy" fleeing from something and bring him on board the ship. The Doctor (alongside Yani, who vaguely understands the Anean's speech) performs surgery on the Anean to heal his wounds. When the pygmy (whose name is Kai) awakens, Yani tells him to be careful as the "Magic Man" (or, presumably, the Doctor) lurks nearby. Yani reveals that the nearby area is controlled by tribes of dwarves under the control of an "eating thing". Soon, these tribes begin firing on the longboats with primitive (yet still somewhat lethal) weaponry. Nathan is driven to a nigh-blinding battle rage by this and jumps out of the longboat he's in. While the pirate captain is able to kill most of the attacking Aneans, he is soon found by the extremely hideous eating thing and trips before he can attack it. | Soon, the ''Dream'' reaches Aneas.

The odd animal sighted by Roz and Chris is revealed to be Trenkor - who breaks the two humans out of their cages. While the animal workforce attempt an attack on the escaping prisoners, Roz is able to fire at them with stolen weaponry. The three escape the Snata's workshop but the Snata hunts them down in a carriage driven by flying reindeer. Before it can do anything to them, Sgloomi warps into a cannon and kills the Snata. | |||
The three trudge through the desolate icy wastes of Reklon for several days. Right before they consider eating the flesh of the Snata (which would kill at least Roz and Chris due to the concentrated fear held within it), they find a group of penguins whom they befriend. While with the penguins, Sgloomi warps hir body into a tent for Roz and Chris and begins to show signs of becoming more "human". While Roz is skeptical of this and still vaguely believes that Sgloomi will betray her and Chris to the Sloathes, Sgloomi believes that hir has become conscious forever. A few days later, the three notice Sloathe ships moving nearby. | |||
