Lerris is walking down a pathway in the forest. He has a beard and a hard look about his face. He has been away from home for a long time. He thinks about how his master, Abbot, has made him leave to find himself. He is resentful. He comes upon Abbot, and Abbot greets him fondly. Lerris responds coldly, and Abbot seems to know what’s coming. Lerris kills Abbot.
He leaves behind the body to the beaten path, and there enters Rowen. She’d been watching him for a short while, not having seen Abbot’s death, but had enough time to leave Byron behind. Now, she scrutinizes him, notes his differences. He says something about wanting to fight her, being ready for it. He says something about being a dark elf now, so he has no connection to his previous abstinence from combat. She doesn’t understand, but she accepts nonetheless.
They fight, and he plays on her weakness--the shoulder. She notices this, and grows alarmed, even concerned over his state of mind, but more alarmed as she thought she knew him different. She gets him on the ground, and he looks up acting crazy. He says something similar to “You’ve come to kill me? Yes, that must be it, then kill me.”
She doesn’t even consider killing him, everything somehow wrong. She says ‘not like this’ and holds out her hand. She pulls him up, and they go their separate ways.
