Jake and Roland are days away from the Way Station but closer to the mountains. Jake doesn't slow Roland down none, and they reach the mountains quickly. Once they start climbing the mountain, Jake almost falls back, because he was feeling dizzy, but Roland catches him. They agree they'll start resting more. Roland chases Jake's scent through a forest to a stone circle. A demon has put Jake in a trance. Roland enters the ring. She then puts Roland in a trance and is about to embrace her until he pulls out the Prophetic Jawbone, to which the demon turns away.
