After the facing off with them, the rulers of the fair city, Andrea Galandäl and her husband Diran, give them their payment and a new ship in exchange for their work.

Upon arriving to their ship, they see a person who hijacks their ship before they could arrive to it. They pursue the hijacker by stealing someone else ship. Getting close, they hop aboard and have him hostage. Explaining himself, he is Anthon Youthaneal, who wants to escape the city to get back to his family. Suspicious, Braden is not sure to trust him, but Cedryc decides to help him get back home. But before they could get out of the city, two guards spot the four, believing they have caught him, much to Anthon's dismay.

Elsewhere in the city, a man by the name of Shur Imalior plots his very solution to take over the throne after his former acquaintances, the Galandäls, had decided not to have him as king, due to his crazy ambitions. With assistance from his bodyguard, Bowick, he is determined to succeed. At night, the Fellows break Anthon out and prepare to head to the boat. Unfortunately, they get caught by the royal guards, causing the four to run into a forest known as the Outlands. Hearing about the trio's attempt of breaking Anthon out, the queen puts a bounty on the Fellows for whoever can retrieve Anthon and have them execution.

The following day, Braden blames Cedryc for his decision to help him, but Xavier defends him as his intentions to assist him were for reason, in which Braden is flabbergasted that he does not realize the situation they are in, leading to Xavier telling him to calm down and focus on helping Anthon get home. Finding Cedryc at a lake, he has a talk with him that his decision to help Anthon was good. In response, he says it is what a hero does, help the needy causes. He was having thoughts about leaving the Fellows for a while to make a name for himself, much to Xavier's shock, but he accepts his decision.
