In this chapter, under a beautiful, clear sky, Sir Miser was enjoying a hearty meal inside the Soggy Satchel when a mysterious armored knight burst through the doors—a knight who had been searching for him for quite some time. Without warning, the stranger challenged Sir Miser, and a brutal fight erupted. Tankards flew, tables splintered, and frightened patrons scattered as the brawl raged through the tavern, crashed into the kitchen, and spilled into the dusty street outside. The sheriff eventually arrived to break it up, jailing both men deep in the dungeon. But by sunrise, Sir Miser had somehow secured his release—leaving the other knight behind—as he and his faithful Steward rode off toward the sunlit coast of light.

Johnny and the two rangers continue their journey downriver on a log raft, navigating toward the Coast of Light. Along the way, they’re ambushed by elite Fly soldier scouts at a beaver dam and taken captive. After cleverly poisoning two of the guards with a fake recipe, they escape into the forest and find refuge in an old mining town where they meet Hunchy, a quirky ladder maker who offers them possum stew and later agrees to guide them to a secret path revealed by Johnny’s enchanted book. Meanwhile, Beelzebub spies on them through a fly and holds a dark council, learning that Armor has moved his loyal forces to join with the knights of Nod by the sea, prompting Beelzebub to declare his march to the Coast of Light.

Lots of stuff happening 🙂 Honestly I just forget to write down a description.
