 Sang-drax calls Xar to the other cell, where Zifnab has disappeared, and when Xar comes back to Samah's cell Jonathon has released Samah's repentant soul before departing himself.Xar talks to Sang-drax about what happened on Arianus, and Sang-drax twists what actually happened so it looks like Haplo was disloyal to Xar.Xar uses rune-joining to bind Marit to him as his "Wife" so that they can communicate via his rune and hers, drawn entwined on her forehead.
