    In the cell, where Blackbird's soul--if such as they have such things--died. Her mind at the very least was lost in this cell. Derek was here too, and then he was gone. It's a mystery now what happened, only that he must have had his faculties to have escaped. Perhaps he picked the lock. He was a stealthy one. After all, it was that one who taught Dirt Nap what little he knows about moving quietly and unseen.


    The moment is right. The night and day and night and day and night and day is here. Dirt Nap is still, going over his plan, assessing his Beast, and his body. He is certain. If he doesn't start now, then he's making excuses and putting it off, and that is no way to go about it.


    The rats are about; the bait has drawn them. He is not advanced enough to force them to come, in a rising tide of vermin. Maybe later, if he wakes up this time. For now, it's a good thing that he cannot make them come to provide a feast, albeit a feast of a great number of tiny morsels. He's planned on not being able to get enough. All his study has built towards this. First, the frenzy had to be controlled, or else for sure he'd frenzy from hunger trying this. Then the need for blood to rise, because for this, there won't be enough, or any. Now he is going to starve, without release into frenzy or endless oblivion. Maybe one rat a night, he'll get. Maybe not even that. He can't call them, but when one wanders close, he can make it come closer, close enough to drain it dry. After a time, the Change will come, and he will go down, into the stone floor. Even that, learning how to go into stone, not just earth, was for this.


    It goes more or less as planned. His recollection is mercifully hazy after the second night. It takes all of his Resolve to make himself rise on the third night. He can do it, the Coil allows it, but it takes his whole will to remember that he wants to.


    When the last day ends, he is just suddenly aware. He is Changed. He is sure. He is released from the boundary, the limitation from growing strong on thin blood, and will never require the blood of another thing with a soul, or even of another thing like himself, now matter how long or how strong his existence may end up.


    He staggers up, and is able to manage the change, to the owl shape, easily fitting between the bars and fluttering to the kitchen, where he rests a bit, and then flies a distance, forcing himself, pushing himself out to the barrens, where the new Dragon whom he's accepted the responsibility for is holed up safe with his dog. There they will hunt, though different prey, and feed and then clean themselves for Court. As a scholar now, he is still the inferior to the Sworn, and he will fulfill his responsibilities no matter what comes.
