 In a wicked age, in a room at the top story of the estate, Leili caresses the egg, knowing that it will solve all her problems. The egg reacts to her touch, shifting colors and patterns towards her fingers. And then she hears a loud noise, as if someone is knocking the game. Carefully, she opens a door to a balcony and peaks outside, to see a whole regiment of armed Dannite soldiers bursting into the estate.
+----
+In a wicked age, in a fancy bath, a drunk and robbed Jahangir wakes from his slumber to the sound of soldiers, in doors. He grabs his axe and goes to find Leili. Ug, after seeing his two guards come back with their tails between their legs, goes to the entrance hall to greet the intruders. He walks straight to their obvious leader, a baby faced Dannite officiary wrapped in fine silks, and posses him to appear friendly and accept Ug's invitation to join him at the main hall, where important scenes tend to gather. "You stay here", the possessed Dannite tells the soldiers. "And you two, go fix that gate".
+Leili join them at the main hall, sporting a new and surprising pregnancy, and Ug releases the Dannite who introduces himself as Tzao Lin, Secretary to the Crane. He does not appear overly impressed by the hostile takeover (in fact, he seems much more impressed with the superhot chick in the room), and demands that the egg be given to him at once. Leili almost says something, but Ug shuts her up with a look, and, in a valiant attempt to impress the futility of making demands of a powerful demon, tries to force the Secretary to preform a handstand. The Secretary manages to resist, although it makes his nose bleed. And it gives Ug a precious peep into the mind and motives of the Secretary.
+Seeing what he is up agains, Ug suddenly remembers the egg isn't even his yet. And as much as he would love to do the gentlemanly thing and lie to the Secretary in order to protect the lady, he is – alas – bound to tell the truth. So he tells him "she has it". The Secretary, happy for a chance to talk to Leili, offers her riches, and then queendom, and finally a place by his side, which she seems anxious to take, but then Jahan comes into the main hall, wiping Dannite blood of his axe.
+"This is my husband. I can't come with you unless he releases me", explains Leili. "Release her", says the Secretary. "I'll be outside, posting new guards at the door, so you have a chance to plan an escape".
+----
+In a wicked age, in a main hall, Ug and Jahan explain to Leili that as soon as she gives him the egg she becomes his slave. "When they have steel", Jahan shares his wisdom, "they take your gold". "He is right, you know", agrees Ehsan, who steps in from the shadows.
+Apparently, he stalked Ug, sneaked in when the Dannites broke the gate, killed some guards, and came in to help them. Or something. But then he saw his mother's pelt worn by Jahan and went into an immense inner conflict against the spirit of his dead and vengeful mother, and he is quite exhausted from all this trying not to avenge her.
+Eventually they talk her into running, for this is really their last chance. The break open a door, kill a few guards, and vanish through a back door unhindered.
+----
+In a wicked age, near the woods, the fickle Leili is having second thoughts. She definitely does not want to go back to the woods, and is considering turning back and marrying that handsome Secretary. As she is arguing with with Jahan ("As leader of this family cell, I say we go to Chorikistan") Ehsan – still very upset – mentions that whole thing about trying hard not to kill Jahan, and demands that he at least stops wearing his mother. Jahan stops, loosens his axe and draws a silver dagger, and challenges Ehsan to prove it. Ehasan transforms, displaying the characteristic silver pelt he inherited, does a little twirl and reverts to human form. Jahangir sheathes his weapons, pulls off his jacket and hands it to the psycho, in the off chance that he discovers more lost family members in it. When Ehsan insists Jahangir come up north with him to face the werewolf tribunal (as he promised his mother's vengeful spirit), the hunter makes acquiescing noises, but silently resolves to give the mad werewolf the slip at the first chance he has.
+Then he rushes to catch up with Leili, who is just walking aimlessly, trying to follow some instinct she doesn't have, and Ug, who is slowly and surely leading her up the coast, towards the free city of Romrama, where they can find civilized shelter and enjoy the local wine.
+----
+In a wicked age, just before the dawn, Jahan is watching over his wife and the parasites she gathered. From a distance he can see the lights of Romrama, built high upon the hills, with a sheer cliff dropping into the ocean, and smell the smell of the fermenting grapes, rolling in waves down the hill.
+Silently, he walks over to Ehsan. At first he considers killing him, but as he looks at him he is filled with kindness and compassion towards the mentally ill (he assumes his civilized mind just snapped upon becoming a werewolf), so he wraps a silver chain around him and silently wakes the others.
+----
+In a wicked age, in what was once a guest house with stables and is now little more than a broken shed, Leili is stopped by a terrible pain in her egg. She tries to caress it, and the egg pulses and reacts to her touch by shifting colors. Then she feels something hatching, and all her energies go into directing it to the outside. The egg pulses again, cracks, and breaks, and out comes a marvelous crane, with a thick gold ring around its left foot.
