;Plot Summary
:''Six years ago''
[[Eshonai]] arrives at the docks of [[Kholinar]] and marvels at its beauty and size. She talks to [[Gitgeth]] about the [[Parshman]] slaves, whom he calls "rhythmless ones." They are only capable of trying to help and cannot even comprehend the invitation to join the celebration. Eshonai wanders off toward the palace and begins exploring. She peeks into a doorway and sees King [[Gavilar]].
Eshonai is at the evening celebration, beating a drum, trying to lose herself in the rhythm. She has told the Five that Gavilar wants to bring back their gods, and that he has the knowledge to do it. [[Klade]] claims to have heard a voice leading him to an [[Szeth|assassin]], and the Five have agreed to have him kill the king. Eshonai weeps as she leaves the celebration.
