- Edmund feels suffocated as he kneels over his dead horse.
- A quiet falls over the edge of the battlefield, and as he wanders, a man named Osbert offers him wine and food.
- Rannulf appears carrying an armful of weapons; he demands that Edmund help him find Nigel and Hubert.
- Rannulf is weary but so is Edmund, so he pays off a water boy to tend to his job for a little while so he can catch his breath.
- The battlefield is covered with dead men and horses. King Richard commands the men who are still fighting as the enemy backs off. Wenstan is in good spirits and sifts through a pile of battle trophies.
- Then Wenstan lends Edmund a horse so they can go and look for the others.
