The other dragon is named Dante. Myva ambushed and took control of him near Volsog gate, the location of the final phylactery. To get there before Myva amasses a demon army, Dante will pull the ship in his dragon form, which will take four days. Doing so will exhaust him to uselessness, but after watching his friends and family be sacrificed by Myva, he decides to “push [himself] to the limit if it means [he] can see her dead” (220).

After four days of the ship rocking on waves and Cinnamon vomiting from seasickness, the crew arrives at a narrow passage through frigid mountains. As a shadow dragon, Fallon uses his power to create darkness around them, which Cinnamon finds she can see through. At the end of the passage, the crew climbs onto dragon-Fallon’s back. He carries them up a mountain to the temple, where the group finds the heroes party, including the girl from Cinnamon’s village.

One of the heroes party has magic powerful enough to stop Fallon’s fire. Cinnamon tries to reason with the heroes, but none of them listen.
