When Wil Ohmsford, Amberle Elessedil, and the Rover girl Eretria find the location of the Bloodfire within Safehold, Mallenroh and Morag appear. They are apparently there guarding the power of the Bloodfire for themselves. They taunt each of the trio and do their best to cast doubts in the minds of the three travelers in an effort to turn them against each other. They are almost successful: Amberle and Eretria start arguing and threatening each other. However, when Eretria's hand gets stabbed and her blood shows the way to unlock the Bloodfire, the two snap out of it.
