== Chapter 42 ==

 

Lightsong repeatedly requests to see Allmother, but he is repeatedly denied entrance. He commands his servants to set up a pavilion outside her palace, threatening to stay there until she will talk to him. He then sends in Vasher's squirrel to make a ruckus. He is finally admitted.

 

 

== Chapter 43 ==

Vivenna has been unconscious for a week. She wakes up in a room with Vasher with clean clothes on, still dizzy and hungry, but not famished. Vasher scolds her for getting fooled by Denth and asks if she gave all of her Breath to him. She admits that it's stored in her shawl. She recovers the Breath and feels much better, experiencing a shock of pleasure that incapacitates her for a moment. Vasher makes Vivenna see how she was used by Denth to encourage the priests to start a war against her homeland of Idris.

 

 

== Chapter 44 ==

 

Siri and Susebron eat together in the conception room. She warns him not to eat too many sweets, but he explains that Returned don't get fat; they always look the same. He tells her that he confronted his priests directly about what would happen to him after he fathered an heir. They answered vaguely that all would be fine. Susebron speculates that the God King is simply a vessel for the treasure of Breaths. They come to the conclusion that a still-born Returned infant from somewhere in the kingdom is the actual heir, not a child that they would bear. He then wonders if his [[Susebron's mother|"mother"]] was actually his biological mother, and Siri assures him that the woman who raised him ''is'' his mother. She tells him about her family and they start to snuggle. Susebron leans over to kiss Siri, passion takes over, and Siri leads the way. The marriage is consummated.

Lightsong dreams of T’Telir burning, the God King's death, and a [[Nightblood|black sword]].

 

 

== Chapter 46 ==

 

Vivenna waits for Vasher in a tiny room. She's exhausted from making so many visits to various Idrians, trying to avert war. Vasher lives a spartan lifestyle. Vivenna contemplates who she is, and she decides that she never wants to be incompetent again. She begins to practice [[Awakening]] with a length of rope. Vasher walks in on her and gives her some tips. He lectures her like a scholar on the different [[BioChromatic Breath|BioChromatic]] entities and Awakening techniques. He refuses to answer her question about Type IV entities, Awakened objects with sentience. He gives her a dueling sword and they go out for yet another visit.

 

 

== Chapter 47 ==

 

Lightsong contemplates his role as a god and his struggles to live up to it. He presses Llarimar on the identity of the young woman from his dreams. He reveals only that she was not his wife or lover and that she is still alive. This motivates Lightsong to action.

 

 

== Chapter 48 ==

 

Siri and Susebron lie in bed in the morning. She ponders their relationship and fears the consequences of their actions (i.e. having sex and possibly producing a child). They express their love to each other. Susebron wants to assert his authority as the God King and take control of the government. They discuss enlisting the help of Lightsong since he cannot speak. They discuss the alternate plan of fleeing, but Susebron believes that this will only be abandoning Irdris to invasion. If they were to flee, Siri worries that he will die without his weekly Breaths, but he explains that he can feed off of the treasure one Breath per week. They decide to implement his plan.

 

 

== Chapter 49 ==

 

Vasher watches Vivenna practice Awakening through a window as he hangs from an Awakened rope. He marvels and how quickly she is learning and laments that she came to Hallandren, providing Denth with a very effective tool. He also thinks that Denth didn't really need her anyway, and that he shouldn't have stayed away for so long, but he couldn't come sooner. Nightblood likes Vivenna.

 

 

== Chapter 50 ==

 

Lightsong and Blushweaver chat as they enter the arena. She suggests that they share each other's Command for his 20,000 lifeless, but he refuses to give her his. He is disgusted with the other Gods for only wanting to be involved in politics but not taking responsibility as leaders of their nation. All of the gods except for the God King finally arrive, and Lightsong is puzzled when he looks for Siri and sees that she is not there yet.
