;Plot Summary
'''Adolin'''
Adolin and Shallan return to camp, where they separate to pack up. Adolin loads his gear onto Gallant, then helps Maya up into the saddle. Around midday, Felt brings him the news that the Tukari caravan has split off from trailing them. Calling for a break, Adolin follows the scout onto an outcropping and discusses the situation with him, telling him to keep a watch on them during their break. While on the way back to Gallant, he realizes what they must really be after.
'''Shallan'''
After confirming that the cube hasn't been touched and then grabbing a bowl of food from Ishnah, Radiant looks up when Adolin sprints past, making for Felt's outcropping again. She catches up to him on top, and he directs her to get everyone to follow him. After watching Adolin leap up onto Gallant's back as the horse gallops by, Radiant sets Pattern to watch their camp and follows after with the rest of the group.
'''Adolin'''
As they gallop past the human's caravan and see only a handful of humans, Adolin's suspicions are confirmed. They approach Notum's group, and, noting the signs of violence ahead, Adolin directs Gallant to stay out of the fight when they get there. After riding in close enough to see the Tukari stabbing Notum repeatedly, Adolin again tells Gallant to stay away and asks Maya if she would be able to cut Notum free if he distracted the assailants. Receiving what he takes as a negative, Adolin confronts the Tukari alone with his greatsword. He drives them away from Notum, using his momentum to intimidate them and thin their numbers. As soon as they back off, however, their leader organizes them so they can surround him. Adolin receives a spear through the abdomen, but he keeps fighting and soon finds that Maya has brought a sword and come to help him. He starts her going through the stances of his morning kata, and with his back now guarded and with Gallant's looming presence helping as well, he is able to kill or scare off the remaining Tukari. A group from the diplomatic mission arrive to find the Tukari gone and the wounded Adolin holding Notum.
