:''Ten days later''
Ten days later, Kenton and Traiben approach the Diem's meeting area near Mount [[KraeDa|Mount KraeDa]] and use their [[sand mastery]] to sandboard down the dune approaching the tents. Over lunch Acolent Kenton is challenged by [[lesstrellLesstrell|Lestrell]] Yeeden to a round of [[Zo'Kel]] because Dirin had claimed nobody could move sand faster than Kenton. Kenton mocks Yeeden for only selecting one target per ribbon he can control, so Yeeden adds one more target and successfully destroys all ten. Kenton asks the Zo'Kel launcher to launch all 25 red [[lak]] in the bet, telling Yeeden he can keep any that survive to the round. Kenton then destroys all twenty-five with his very fast ribbon. Mastrell Drile then arrives from his travels and scolds Yeeden for sparring lowly acolents, he then mocks Kenton for believing that an Acolent can survive running the [[Mastrell's Path]].
:''Day 39''
Day 39: Dutchess Khrissalla and company have arrived at the port of [[Dosha-Har'Ken]] and find that every time their linguist, Professor Allistren [[Cynder]] tries speaking "daysider language" to somebody, they scream and run away. Professor Jon Acron notices a merchant with a sign in [[Dynastic]] and the group begins purchasing supplies. The Merchent also offers his nephew Daazk as a guide for them to [[Lossand]]. In the distance, they hear some Daysider language that they can understand and come upon the A'Kar preaching in a public square. Cynder attempts to talk to the speaker, who denounces them for using the Holy Language - as they retreat they realize the reason that nobody would talk to them was because they had learned the Priest's Dialect.
