After the raid on their village, the Ants find a Barb arrow in their ravaged fields. SAL is distraught because STAR has disappeared in the raid.

OMAR blames DAN for the attack, because he went into Barb territory the day before. He wants to counter-attack, but FAYGAR insists that they consult BRAY and the Ants visit their shrine. FAYGAR recounts a story at the shrine that tells of times of paradise and great evil long ago.

When they return to the Ant camp, SAL and SKY are intrigued by postcards of Bray and the Mall Rats and SKY and DAN discuss them. SAL looks for STAR, without success.
