The Knight and the Moth

Six sees Diviners floating in her vision before they turn into moths and fly away. She has a flashback to the abbess tying a shroud around her eyes. Rory resuscitates her, and the pain of waking is intense. She wakes in Maude’s home, Petula Hall, in the Chiming Wood and wanders until she finds Benji’s chambers. She sees his grandfather’s notebook and snoops in it. He wrote that he had never found evidence of Diviners’ existence after their tenures ended at Aisling, supporting the Oarsman’s claim that they’re dead. Benji interrupts her, and Six expresses her anger at him for keeping the truth from her. Benji says that he didn’t want to hurt her and wanted to convince her to help him take up the mantle. 

Six storms into the woods and screams. She wanders through the woods, worried that the trees have eyes, until Rory finds her. He comforts her and tells her that he was the one who put a shroud over her eyes again, even though everyone else has already seen what’s behind it. She cries for the first time she can remember, and Rory comforts her. Six bites her own thumb and gives it to Rory.
