Poleen Juvukis races toward Vitolêô’s port, the cigar box a heavy weight at her belt, desperate to intercept the Notoholis Aprelêu ship carrying her mother Ezeldu. Her Forgetting clouds memories of Ezeldu’s laughter, but Benê’s death and Juvukis’ Bloom’s ashes fuel her resolve. Skirting coastal cliffs, she spots a Notoholis scout, possibly Nedrich nâ Hilêômbrâ, and evades capture, her uncanny strength felling a pursuer in a moonlit ambush. In Vitolêô’s bustling docks, a grizzled harbormaster, wary of her questions, reveals Ezeldu’s ship, the Sea Serpent, sails at dawn. A shadowy figure, hinting at ties to the Berjer tê Aprelêu, offers cryptic aid, suggesting the cigar box’s contents could sway Vitolêô’s courts. Poleen, torn between trust and suspicion, infiltrates the docks, her predatory instincts honed for a daring rescue, knowing one misstep could doom Ezeldu to Aprelêu’s prisons.
Poleen dreams of a past visit to Juvukis’ Bloom, witnessing her younger self and Ezeldu meeting Humeric tû Yulêz and an unnamed man offering indilus root, a deal Ezeldu rejects. Awakening in the Dew Flower Inn, guilt over Benê’s death haunts her as she waits for Gibelê, who’s delayed investigating Ezeldu’s arrest. Restless, Poleen spots Notoholis Aprelêu guards at the inn and flees to Snaking Lane, distracted by a fire-wielding performer. Nedrich nâ Hilêômbrâ confronts her, taunting her survival, but a crowd delays violence. Leading him to the Sunset Cliffs, Poleen faces Nedrich and his men, including Âvorê, who defends her as “Milôkêsku,” a chosen soul. As more Notoholis riders approach, Âvorê hurls Poleen into the Gulf of Tomulok. She survives the plunge, battered but clinging to rocks, vowing to endure as the tide shifts, her resolve unbroken.
