-months later Gorian and Markliam raid Tuanni's bar with Markliam's crossbow and discover ginger ale!!!  Tuanni catches them as is about to strike Markliam, but Kaelin poofs into the scene and prevents it.  Later when Markliam returns to Kaelin's hut, Kaelin informs him that she's keeping the crossbow until he's mature enough to use it.  Markliam apologizes for the hay sacking earlier as Kaelin tries to put doubt into him that it may not of been vamps that attacked Yrdnal.  Markliam soon remembers running off the cliff and starts to cry.

-Exavia FLIES away thinking about her search for her brother.

*Espio and Exavia are the last of the six old school furres to appear!
*Slen is a dry city, despite the orographic topography theory in which it should be very rainy
