Sorin wakes from troubled sleep and dresses, going to meet Magnes in a hidden room.
Magnes and Sorin, known as His Eyes, have previously saved the world by pushing back the threats of chaos, wraiths, and dragons.
There is uncertainty surrounding whether prayer is heard and who it is being delivered to, due to the enigmatic nature of dragons.
Sorin inquires if Magnes is mad at her, to which he denies. However, he questions what to do with her knowing the information she does.
Magnes suggests a few paths for Sorin: living a safe and unremarkable life, killing under his guidance at night, or departing the Order and starting anew. Sorin admits she no longer wishes to kill.
Magnes suggests an alternative option, monitoring the leylines for upcoming moons at Nalore Monastery. He also hints at the possibility of her leaving the Order entirely.
Even with the temptation of a new life, Sorin feels tied to Magnes and the Order. She makes the decision to stay and continue serving as an Eye.
