=== Chapter 62 ===
Hrathen makes plans to smuggle Sarene out of Teod on a merchant's ship, under the impression that Dilaf will follow her and spare Teod, unlike Duladel; Hrathen exposes himself to the guilt of his own past atrocities before he is murdered by [[Fjon]]. Trying to revive Hrathen, Sarene is interrupted by a group of Dakhor monks and Dilaf, drawn by the commotion of the surrounding crowd.
Raoden finishes healing Lukel as Ashe comes to inform Raoden that [[Teod]] is under attack, and that Sarene is there. Hurrying up Elantris' wall Ashe shows Raoden which direction Teod is in. He begins to draw Aon Tia, the transportation Aon, when he reluctantly agrees with Galladon's urgent reasoning on its dangers. Without knowing the exact distance Aon Tia could kill the user. Fortunately, Adien appears - of sound mind now - and quotes the exact distance in steps to Teod. Using Adien's stride as his measurement, Raoden modifies Aon Tia and teleports himself to Teod.
Moments later a spray of light collides with one of the Dakhor monks. Raoden dashes for Sarene. He disables Dilaf and grabs a hold of Sarene, transporting them fifty feet away from the monks, forgetting that Aons grew weaker away from Elantris. Attempting to escape, Raoden and Sarene flee down the docks until they spot King Eventeo, but little too late as they are unable to outrun the abnormally fast monks. Raoden readies himself to attack but Dilaf is content on allowing backup to arrive.
With a small army of monks, Dilaf begins his offense. Raoden will be unable to draw his Aons fast enough to combat all of the monks at once. Suddenly, the Elantrians led by Galladon teleport onto the docks and launch a barrage of power against the monks.
Knowing he has little options remaining Dilaf scrambles down an alleyway, away from the battle to hunt down the one leverage he knows will draw Sarene to him - King Eventeo. Sarene notices this and urges Raoden to pursue. Though not far into the alleyway, Dilaf ambushes Raoden. Disarming Raoden, Dilaf kicks the wounded Elantrian to his knees. Forgotten, Sarene surprises Dilaf, attacking him with a sword she'd found. Unable to keep up with the monk's superior physical abilities she suffers a wound to the shoulder. As both lay defeated, Hrathen surprises all of them by first appearing and then blocking Dilaf's attack with a Dakhor enhanced arm. The same arm he uses in proceeding to choke Dilaf to death with before succumbing to his own wounds.
Galladon arrives to report that the Teoish armada is holding out against the Fjordell.
