Torlie is transferred from under the direct supervision of Jest, as he is physically weakened under torture and interrogation. When the news reaches him, the Ancient Vahaton laments being unable to rescue him. However the conversation is overheard by Charo, who decides to rescue Torlie by himself. Come dawn, everyone finds Charo missing along with a carrier dragon. Ace and Tamazo go after him after learning the truth. Meanwhile, Charo is nearly caught by the Dominion, but escapes with help of Ansel, a well known chef, who is also serving food to Torlie to help him recover. Together, they rescue Torlie, and Charo also brings along Klien, who has had a change of heart. Torlie and Klien go to Libria while Charo, Ace and Tamazo return.
