He knows what it is like to be locked in a cage and would never do that to the woman he loves.  It is then that she realizes she may have misjudged him.  Later that night, Rowena and Prince Caedmon are gazing up at the sky and he tells her the tale of Helios (the sun god), his daughters, and his one true love Selene (the moon goddess).
