Maevyth dreams of a dead old woman, a man in armor, and a raven that carries her away. She wakes up four days later, and her arm has healed into a silver scar shaped like a feather. In addition, the lower halves of her irises have turned silver.

Aleysia explains how worried everyone was about her, including Moros. She leaves, and Maevyth spots two boys playing by the Witch Knell. Maevyth yells at them, and a giant raven appears and bursts into many ravens. One boy gets dragged into the forest. Maevyth goes outside and finds a black-silver egg where she buried the raven.

The Crone Witch approaches, and Maevyth asks about the egg. She says that it is a life for a death and jokes about the two boys. Maevyth thinks that the Crone Witch has magic sight. The witch says that Maevyth should leave Foxglove, calling her a black rose and referencing “gods.”

Aleysia calls Maevyth away. Moros approaches their house, and Aleysia says that she will tell him Maevyth is still sick.
