I am the last hunter and you are the last of your kind. The noise of our fight will make the stars fall from the sky.

And Roqi? If he doesn’t even have the courage to throw a stone at a leaf-eater, will he ever be able to become a hunter? And above all: will the children be able to survive in the most hostile environment that has ever existed?
