Line 1:

The chapter opens with Tsarevna [[Alena]] being scolded by her father, Tsar Stepan, for her desire to compete in the [[Endor]] tournament. He forbids her to leave the palace, and insists that she learn the proper decorum befitting a Tsarevna.

Retreating to her room, she sees the portion of the wall she kicked through earlier has just been boarded up, so she kicks through the boards and is again able to leave the palace, but before she has even left the palace grounds, [[Kiryl]] and [[Borya]] catch up, insisting that they accompany her on her voyages. She assents and they join the party.

Line 5:

She and her group arrive at a small village known as [[Taborov]] where a monster has been terrorizing the villagers, periodically demanding a village maiden as a sacrifice. Alena decides to take the place of the maiden designated as the sacrifice and defeat [[Master Kung]] when it comes to claim her. This plan is a success and the village is free of the monster's predations.

When the group arrives at [[Vrenor]], they are surprised by a big commotion. When they talk to the villagers, they are told that "Tsarevna Alena" is staying at the inn. When they enter to find out who is impersonating them, they stumble onto a kidnapping in progress. Despite their best efforts, though, the kidnappers get away. A note found the next day states that the "~~princess~~" is being held and will be released in exchange for the [[Armlet of Transmutation]]. This artifact, according to a villager, is stored in a nearby cave, but is very dangerous, and should remain where it is.

Having no other option, the party retrieves the armlet and hands it over to the kidnappers, who then release the fake Tsarevna. She tells Alena that her name is [[Anya]] and apologizes for the inconvenience that her actions brought to Alena and party. She then hands over the [[Thief's key]] and leaves after promising not to impersonate her again in the future.

Line 21:

Alena, after preparing herself, then enters the tournament. Her first battle is against [[Atilla the Hunk]], followed by [[Quick Draw McGore]]. After that, she fights [[Prima Donna]] and [[Samson Knight]]. She then fights the [[Abominable Showman]], and steels herself for the battle against Psaro the Manslayer, but he is a no-show, so Alena wins by default. After the battle, one of her soldiers informs her that something terrible has happened at the palace just before dying.

On arrival at Zamovska, she notices that the place is unusually quiet. They search the palace and find no trace of Tsar Stepan or anyone else. They then depart on another journey, this time to discover what happened to the people of ~~Zamovska~~.
