Attia believes that Finn came from Outside because he is different from other people in Incarceron. Finn tells Attia that the key helps his visions and he needs time alone with it occasionally. She agrees to cover for him. He wanders to a stream alone and starts speaking to Claudia and Jared. They don’t get very far because Keiro appears to tell Finn that other people have arrived.

Jared gives Claudia a copy of Bartlett’s testament to read while they travel to Sia’s court. The journey will take four days.

Near Finn and Keiro, men are walking on stilts and picking fruit from trees. Suddenly, Finn has a seizure and sees a city nearby with hundreds of people and sheep walking towards it.

In Bartlett’s testimony, he states that he worked at the palace from a young age and was put in charge of raising Giles, whom he loved like his own child. Giles’s mother died, but he still had a good life. One day, the king saw another woman (Sia) and became enchanted with her. He hunted her down and eventually married her. Sia is mysterious; nobody knows who her parents were or where she is from, and Bartlett thinks she is a sorceress.
