The friends set off on a new long and dangerous journey. On the way, the group split into three parties. The Olivians wanted to visit their native places, while the Alan men wished to check on the comrades left behind in Lendville. Objections by Khrabrov and Ayato led to nothing. The meeting was scheduled near the city of Falls on the western coast of the continent. A few months later, the Earth people encountered the Warrior of Darkness for the first time.
