Prince Gwydion awakes at night and talks to Taran. King Rhun, princess Eilowny, Achren, and Dallben are all gathered around Gwydion after being summoned from their sleep. Dallben orders the letrter sticks and Hen Wen into his chamber at once. When Hen Wen arrives, he is terrified. The old enchanter tried and tried but Hen Wen would not listen. Taran soothed him and talked to him and hestarted reading the sticks. At the last letter stick Hen Wen froze. She got closer then the stick exploded. Hen Wen ran away in fear. Achrean suddenly dissapears from the room while Dallben starts to read what he could from the letter sticks. Suddenly Gurgi runs into the chamber yelling that Achren had ran off from Caer Dallben and how he tried to stop her but failed. Achren was gone.
