Abu takes up the narrative. His Eagle Master Aduthuma, Abu’s eagle Zephyria and Abu begin their long journey back to the Massagetae camp to join the great hunt, or Nerge. They travel at night along the edges of the steppes, sticking to high places, avoiding towns and cities along the way. Abu’s attachment to Zephyria grows, and he can see through her eyes while in a trance as Zephyria hunts and guides them forward. One day, they discern a cloud of dust in the distance, and Zephyria is sent to find out the cause. Abu, seeing through Zephyria’s eyes, discovers a menace coming from an unexpected place. They race home to warn the Queen of what they have found.

Meanwhile, Adam resumes his narrative and about the great hunt, which mobilizes the entire Massagetae nation, including men, women and beasts. But they are all unaware of the approaching danger. Axia takes up her place at the head of the hunt, with Arsalion, her champion, at her side. A great beast is spotted, and Axia resolves to be the first to slay it. She is lured to a place of danger, where two deadly perils await her and her champion. Abu and Zephyria arrive to warn of the unfolding danger. Adam is required to once again apply his healing skills. The Massagetae host prepares for battle.
