After her capture by the bandits "Ravens," Klen (Clevatess in human form) calmly analyzes the situation. He plans to keep his true identity hidden and study human behavior while Luna remains safe. The prisoners are separated in the camp; men and the elderly are segregated from women and children. Bandit leader Vroko identifies Alicia as the surviving heroine of the failed Clevatess expedition.
Vroko reveals his plan: he trades in slaves and counterfeit "Mana Hiderite" weapons. Since the destruction of Hiderat by Clevatess has made genuine weapons rarer, he intends to use Alicia's knowledge to recover the real Regalia of the dead heroes and thus enhance his forgeries. He orders Alicia to be taken closest to the weapons and warns against excessive violence to keep her functional.
Meanwhile, Klen encounters Nell, an enslaved wet nurse with a tragic past: born into slavery, she suffered multiple stillbirths and survives only by nursing foreign children. Impressed by her care for Luna, Klen offers her the chance to become Luna's permanent wet nurse and escape slavery. Despite the offer, Nell refuses, emphasizing her duty to future babies and mistaking Klen for a slave.
Meanwhile, the bandits force Alicia (with bound hands and leg shackles) to the "Shaft of Elbe" – a flooded Arkanacit mine. Here, 300 years ago, the hero Khordhwar was killed by water-dark beasts (Arvensis). The bandits send a slave as bait into the shaft, where he is killed by Arvensis. When the bandit Feeto attacks Alicia, she frees herself by dislocating her shoulder from the restraints, overpowers him, and desperately jumps into the flooded mine to escape the Arvensis – trusting in Klen's earlier hint of her immortality.
