Chapter #11 starts with Sally, who has just been sighted by the Hunter. He enters her cafe and threatens to burn down the building with Sally inside it if she doesn’t tell him where Jenna and the rest of their group were. She fights back against him and kicks him hard, making him even more mad. The five last customers, who were Northern Traders, tells the Hunter the information he desires in exchange for their freedom. The Hunter leaves the cafe and orders the cafe burned, and then sets off in a very fast bullet boat that can catch up with Muriel. The chapter ends as the bullet boat departs, leaving behind Sally’s cafe, which is now on fire, with Sally herself trapped inside.
Chapter #12 starts in Muriel. The boat sails towards the Marram Marshes with it’s crew. Silas and Marcia discuss their hopes that Sally made it out of the cafe, and Marcia admits that she lent Sally her Keepsafe. The chapter ends as the Hunter’s bullet boat spots Muriel.
In Chapter #13, the wind dies, leaving the crew of Muriel to paddle. Marcia decides the only way to lose the Hunter is with Magyk, and she casts a Fog. As the Hunter searches the Fog, Boy 412 wants to get back into the Young Army and tries to yell, giving their position away. The chapter ends as they narrowly escape when Marcia does a Projection of Muriel.
Chapter 14 begins in Muriel. The boat and her crew have just arrived at the edge of the Marram Marshes. They decide to set up camp. Meanwhile, the Hunter’s bullet boat is still chasing the Projection. Suddenly Marcia’s concentration is broken and the Projection flickers. The Hunter is furious and orders the bullet boat to turn around. Marcia decides to make sure the Hunter stops chasing them and uses Magyk to make him dive into the cold water, and sure enough, the bullet boat retreats. The chapter ends as Alther the ghost appears.
Chapter #15 begins as the Heaps, Maxie, Marcia, and Boy 412 set up camp. They eat barley cake and hot chocolate from Sally Mullin’s Cafe. Alther tells them the bad news of how DomDaniel has taken over the Wizard Tower and sent all the WIzards all to the Badlands. He also describes how he became Extraordinary Wizard- he stole the Akhu Amulet from DomDaniel, and then DomDaniel jumped off the Wizard Tower. When he finishes the story, Marica and Silas decide to turn Muriel into canoes to travel through the Marshes. Silas, who is tasked with Transforming Muriel into the canoes, messes up and only makes two. The Heaps, Maxie, Marcia, and Boy 412 split up into the canoes and paddle out into the Marshes. The chapter ends as Jenna is startled by a creatures hand that emerges from the water and grabs her canoe.
