Salvi, the village chief, screams from the hilltop. His sons, Bor and Sur, hear him from the forest and run to him. He assigns them a task: fetch rare sheep from Pratja Island to welcome his old friend, Dongo. After an argument, the wise Kayo intervenes, giving them giant dragons and naming each dragon after its owner. On the island, the Sliding Dragon suddenly appears and kills Bor’s dragon. Bor collapses emotionally, but Sur steadies him and strikes the dragon under its jaw to fend it off. They return together on a single dragon, and the chapter ends with a hint of the future power struggle.
