Diary entry in the middle of the night.

The Tri Council comes for Elowen and on her way to the Burn, her moonplume Slatra follows her even though Elowen begged for her dragon to stay behind.

Present day, Khan flies for three days to get a very unconscious Rave to the Imperial stronghold in the Burn.

After kicking everyone out of the dining room, Rave is laid on a table and Agni, a flesh thread, gets to work.

Alone with Agni, Veya, Khan's sister, learns that Rave is covered in scars from past healing, but there's one that stands out.

a silver scar over her heart that is in the perfect location for a killing blow.

Dun, dun, dun.

This is when Vea decides she's going to the shade in an attempt to find Elowen's personal diary.

Because, yeah, did I mention that Rave and Elowen are the same fucking person?

Diary entry.

A beautiful man scoops Elowen up, and she's horrified that Slaughter just lets him.

Together, the man and his sister, Vea, take care of Elowen in a way that no one has since her family's passing.

Present day, after getting her iron shackle removed, the storm outside continues to grow, and no matter how hard she tries, Rave cannot block out Rain's song.

But unlike in the Fade, Rave is not alone here.

Khan wraps her up in his arms, comforting her with her calming song.

I need this man to stop being so fucking perfect.

Khan leads Rave deep into the Imperial stronghold and down, down, down a fuck ton of stairs.

Instead of a crusty, dusty basement, Rave discovers a beautiful cavern full of moon plume carvings.

In the center is a massive silver moon slatra.

Khan tells Rave that he believes this dragon cradled her for a hundred phases in the sky before she fell, not so subtly implying that Rave and Elowen are the same person.
