Main Events
Richard, Kahlan, and Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander arrive at Chase's house in the middle of the night, bloodied and exhausted. Emma, Chase's wife, tends to Richard's wounds from the gar attack, cleaning the gashes on his back. Richard tells Chase everything that has happened, showing him the Sword of Truth. Chase immediately recognizes what it means and pledges his life and loyalty to the Seeker. He explains that boundary wardens are sovereign and follow only the true Seeker's orders. Richard asks Chase to tell him where the pass across the boundary is located.
Chase reveals the pass is called King's Port, located in a place called South Haven, four or five days' ride to the south. He insists on taking them there himself, as it's a dangerous place and the boundary is his responsibility. Richard agrees, and they all prepare to leave at first light. Emma finds traveling clothes for Kahlan, and they all get some rest before beginning their journey south toward the pass.
