As Gordon began teaching him to control fire and explained the dangers surrounding the ring and Firekiss, a whinny outside alerted them to uninvited guests.

• Unas visited the Druids' cottage, caught Beryl when she jumped from a tree, and learned that she had enough food and supplies.
• Wendy Nightmoon corrected Beryl about the time required to learn druidic shapeshifting and made a remark that Unas took as a slight against Humans.

• Erigor told Unas that the Council of Five would soon consider Lord Tyrosus's nomination and that Unas would likely join the Silver Hand at the annual Consecration Ceremony.

• Unas remembered that Renault Mograine would kill Alexandros Mograine, leading Kel'Thuzad to turn him into a Death Knight, and wondered whether he could change that fate.
