The next morning, Paedyn and Kai narrowly escape detection after stealing a horse from the barn. Kai helps Paedyn onto the horse, and they ride out of Dor toward the Sanctuary of Souls. The terrain is rocky and treacherous, covered with abandoned graves, and rumored to be haunted by the dead. Paedyn is preoccupied, thinking about Kai’s earlier question about her lineage. After a while, Kai falls asleep. Paedyn tries to steer the horse back to Dor, but the prince wakes up. Paedyn then asks him about Ava, and Kai demands that she dance with him in return for answers, as they did in Powerless. While they dance, Kai tells Paedyn that her boldness and recklessness remind him of Ava, and they share a tender moment.

Paedyn and Kai fall asleep after dancing. The next morning, Paedyn wakes up to find that Kai was injured by the stable hand they stole a horse from, so she dresses his wound with a piece of cloth. Once they’re ready to leave, she asks him to teach her how to ride the horse.
