ILLEK (Finally the two climb to the brow of the rocky face. The top is grassy and windy, and Illek soon finds a stream. They set up camp there, and soon have a fire going. Illek catches a big ground bird with his bow, then cleans it and soon the air is redolent with the smell of roasting fowl. The stars appear, and the sky is cloudless and the wind falls a bit after sundown. The feeling of peace is palpable.)
