Since Lord Khan Tegus is engaged to Lady Vachir, Khan's warriors will unite with hers. They will have more warriors to fight Lord Khasar army now and they might stand a chance. Dashti and Lady Saren were still working in the kitchen scrubbing pots and pans and are maids working to have roof over their heads. One day Shria a women who works for Khan came down to the kitchen saying that Khan wanted a mucker who knew the healing songs to attend to him. Dashti was picked to go because the other mucker maids in the kitchen knew she was the best out of all of them. Shria told Dashti to be ready for tomorrow because that's when she was going to go and sing the healing songs to Khan. The next day she was scrubbing pots and Shria came to get her and they went up to Khan's room. Khan told Shria she could leave and continued talking to his two men about his leg wound. He told Dashti where the pain was and finished talking with his men. She started singing a song but didn't dare sing the same one that she had sang like she did in the tower because she thought that he would remember her. She could tell that the song was not working and then she sang the same song, she could feel that it was working and Khan started to relax, the song had worked. She was released and was told that she would be needed again and would be sent for when he wanted her back. She has gone to sing to him several times to relieve the pain in his leg. She had gone to see him again and could sense the pain lifting from him fast. She could still feel pain in him but it was not in his leg. She Placed her hands on his belly then his chest, she could feel a heat inside him from a hurt that he refused to let go of. He tried to send her away but she told him to sit down and then apologized for speaking to him like that. She placed her hands on him and sang a song and felt him relax again. Khan asked if she would read and write and she told him that she could, so he moved her to the second floor with her own room so that she could write for him. She copies notes for the chiefs and takes count of the supplies that they have. One Morning Shria came running to Dashti saying come quick, they ran into one of Khan's rooms and a man was lying on the floor and was bleeding really fast. Khan wanted her to sing to him so that he would get better, she said she couldn't because a healing song can't stop blood from flowing or close a wound. She told Khan that, "The life heat leaves his body even as his blood does. His soul is teetering on a threshold, undecided to live or die." Khan just kept saying help him to live over and over. This man was his friend, that jumped between Khan and an assassin, and got stabbed. She returned to her room disappointed in herself and in the morning but still dark out someone knocked on her door and it was Khan. He asked Dashti to come with him, they went to the room where Khan's friend was laying. Again he begged Dashti to sing for him to stay alive, she started to sing a play song that was a happy song. Khan started to sing with her and then she let him sing alone, Batu, Khan's friend, started breathing slowly as if his soul and gone back into him. They both sat against the couch and rested after that. They started talking first about names and then Dashti asked him about the pain that she had felt in his chest. He said, "I was in love with a lady once. I thought I didn't have the power to save her, so I didn't even try. And she came to harm because of my reluctance, my stupidity." She knew that he was talking about Lady Saren and that he deeply wanted to be with her. Dashti got her half day off the same time Lady Saren did so they went walking through town and Dashti told Lady Saren of what Khan had said the night before. Lady Saren told Dashti to act as her and tell him that Dashti was Lady Saren, and Dashti had to because she had taken an oath to serve her forever. Khan has left to go off to war, so Dashti doesn't get to tell him and Lady Saren is very upset with her. Dashti was sent back to the kitchen because she had no one to write for anymore. A few days later My Lord the cat had found his way home and Dashti was so happy to see him. She brought him to the kitchen and everyone loved him, Lady Saren thought that he should be hers since Khan gave him to her but the cat didn't want to be with her and kept running back to Dashti. Then one night the cat finally slept with Lady Saren and she was so happy. Dashti couldn't believe that she gave the cat to Lady Saren but she had to.
