In this chapter, we are introduced to the "red soul flame," a symbol of royalty, and the "black flame," the symbol of death. The red flame attacks the enemy's soul, while the black flame burns the soul into ashes. It looks like you have "scared too bad" to escape. We learn that the moment you stand at the other side, the "outcome was already decided" . The elder sister tells her son that he must get to the center of the city as soon as possible.
