M'hall arrives at the College. Tieran sends his fire-lizard, Grenn, up, to tell M'hall that it was safe, but to land at a distance. M'hall approaches the smoldering remains of the young queen. He asks if they were sure it was a queen, as it was so small. Tieran points to the skull and shows that it must've been very young, less than six months old, stunning M'hall, as a queen that young shouldn't be so big. Tieran replies that ths' about the size expected around the 30th generation, from over 400 Turns in the future. Tieran shows M'hall the beadworks found on the queen.
