Part 3, Chapter 31 Summary: “Strange Bedfellows”
Brother Diaz washes ashore on a bleak, rainy beach. He finds Vigga lying unconscious in a rock pool. After he drags her out of the water, Vigga awakens sobbing, overwhelmed by guilt, exhaustion, and the trauma of her transformation into the Vigga-Wolf. Brother Diaz awkwardly comforts her.
As the rain falls harder, they strip clothing from two drowned oarsmen to cover themselves and argue about continuing down the coast. Vigga insists that Brother Diaz leave her behind, but he refuses, saying he needs her protection. When Vigga regains her composure, she checks the magical binding on her wrist and confirms that Alex is still alive. Vigga marches off to find their companions, and Brother Diaz scrambles after her.
Part 3, Chapter 32 Summary: “Not the First Time”
Alex wakes up on the beach to Sunny slapping her. The two begin scavenging for useful debris washed up from the wreck, including a chest containing Duke Constans’s clothing, which Alex appropriates. As they collect supplies, Sunny spots a group of well-armed figures approaching.
The two women flee to the dunes to hide and watch the strangers inspect the wreckage and the chest. Sunny overhears that they’re actively searching for Alex.
