Present day, Khan and Rave land in the burn and Khan immediately decides to yeet her directly into a pond with zero warning and zero manners.

But hey, the pool has healing properties.

First, though, that pin in your shoulder really needs to come out.

Kahn leads Rave to a cute, cozy little cottage, the perfect vibe for anyone plotting your escape.

And Kahn cooks, the man makes soup, but apparently it's good soup.

With her first attempt to leave thwarted by Kahn and his nakedness, the only logical exit now is a window and down the trellis like a normal person.

It works.

She's out.

She's free.

But before she can make it to the bottom of a cliff, something collides with her head and it's lights out.

Rave regains consciousness and is yelled at by strangers.

Rude.

And a huge silver beast steps in her path.

welcome welcome welcome fate herder rave is brought to the jekool tribe and it turns out rave is part of a prophecy and her offspring will tether the moons to the sky forever yay oh and they're also hosting a tuca trial to decide who will be the father of that child

Yay.

Hawk wins and she is rightfully appalled.

Instead of accepting her fate, Rave decides that she's going to fight for herself.

During that fight, Hawk plays dirty and throws a snake at Rave, my nightmare, whose venom then impacts her ability to fight.

Although fate must be on her side because King Khan has arrived.

Khan and Hawke battle and it is rough, but after dropping Hawke's head at her feet, nice, Khan scoops up Rave and carries her away as she promptly passes out.
