Main Events
Richard and Kahlan enter the Narrows, forced to navigate through a landslide that has destroyed the trail. They must walk between the boundary walls using only the green glow to guide them, with death on both sides. Shadow things begin following them, and Richard walks backward to watch them while Kahlan leads the way. The shadows begin whispering to Richard, calling his name, showing him gentle faces and promising peace and rest. They seduce him with memories of his father and happy times, making him want to join them. Richard's hand slips from his sword, and he releases Kahlan's hand. The shadows surround him, reaching for him. At the last moment, memories of Kahlan flash in his mind, breaking the spell. He draws his sword and fights desperately, cutting through the shadows. When he looks for Kahlan, she is gone. He continues through the Narrows alone, and at the end, his father's shade appears again, promising to take him to Kahlan. Richard runs his sword through the shade, asking bitterly how many times he must slay his father's shade. He continues on alone, devastated that he has lost Kahlan.
