"A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt. resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority ... And ego. The other is good. He is joy, love, peace, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, empathy, truth, compassion ... And faith. The same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too."
"Which wolf will win?"
"The one you feed."

It begins with Lisa and Koda, who take a present to Georgie, before departing to Imperia. Sally and John think that they're visiting Flannery. Lisa and Koda catch a bus, that is supposed to take them to Larkhill but instead of going to Flannery, they go to the Stonehenge. They arrive in Imperia and find Tywer and Tox waiting for them with a pair of Hoovers (not vacuum cleaners, Tarunas in the native Tribalese). Lisa and Koda continue on their own, as the Nebra twins say they are to bring some people to Era, untill they (LK) reach Mid-South, where they are intercepted by Kageyama and Mira. Kageyama and Lisa share a romantic kiss, while Mira nudges Koda. Kageyama is accompanied by his trusted companions, Jeral and Tsubaki, who questions Lisa about Flannery's whereabouts. Koda comments that Flannery's earned herself an admirerer.
They reach Era, where Lisa and Koda are greeted by Medicham, Natu, Yama, Mizuki, Ignotous and Tigerclaw. Lisa and Koda manage to slip away and go to see the Council Under the Willow.There, she gives each of the members gifts: sword of Armadura, chili peppers, chocolate, some pebbles, popsicle, postcard from Mt. Everest, herbarium. The council members are pleased with the gifts, but Gnaeus seems uncomfortable. He and Leona tell Lisa and Koda that they cannot become rulers of Imperia right then and that they need to prove themselves to the people. Lisa and Koda are visibly annoyed, as they have hoped to stay away from danger from awhile. Gnaeus explains that they suspect Dsia has retreated beyond the Border, to the Oldworld.
