After barely escaping the felids and the dangers of crossing the water, Dusk and his colony finds himself in a completely different world, unlike what was on the island. Upon landing, the colony is greeted by other chiropters, who look a bit different that what Dusk is used to. He notices that the new colony has soldiers, something his colony didn't have a need for. The colony is introduced Gyrokus's colony, where they learn about some of the things that have happened since Dusk's colony began living on the island. such as new carnivorous species appearing, the actions of Carnassial, and how life has been since the Pact was fulfilled. Gyrokus offers the colony refuge.
In this chapter, Dusk is for the first time complimented, by chiropters other than his close family, for his idea of using the thermals, which may have saved the entire colony. For the first time, Dusk felt special, and was not shunned, or avoided by others. Immediately afterwards, Dusk began feeling elevated emotions, despite all that has happened. This shows how important it is for our needs to be satisfied, for our emotions to be stable. Before, Dusk constantly felt lonely and rejected, but now he was special, and felt satisfied with himself.
