Clyss was tensed to see the camp of refugees. He had only known the calm of the ballroom with only Zuline and Jäwell. Now that Jäwell disappeared to him suddenly, he was constantly checking for everything around him. Zuline made a decision, she left the camp for a few days with Clyss. They went into the desert to research a grotto that could welcome him.
She walked on an errand for a few days, searching for a place for Clyss to be in a calm environment. They eventually managed to find him a den and Zuline stayed with him. Her heart was broken and she didn't have the force to come back to the camp. Zuline was not able to be a leader anymore, her mind was full of Jäwell's words, expressions, and scent. She spent countless time observing her leg as she still had the mark of his fangs and she surprised herself by caressing the scar with a terrible sense of loss.
