Richard wonders what they must be buying that is worth as much as the trader asks, and it turns out to be a boy. Ashgar asks the boy what his wife made him for breakfast before the expedition. Not only does the boy know, but he also knows what the captain is really thinking underneath that. Ashgar then asks to know something about his men he doesn't already, and the boy says there's nothing. Ashgar is unimpressed and begins to leave, and the trader pressures the boy into revealing something. The boy points out a soldier among them who wants to help the Seeker and kill Darken Rahl if he has the chance. The traitorous soldier, Masslar, tries to flee, but there's nowhere to go. He is captured by his brethren. The soldiers buy the boy, put him back in his enclosed prison of a cart, and march on. Zedd and Kahlan are astounded that this boy can read minds, as he is the first of what are called Listeners in the past seven hundred years. Richard wants to free the boy immediately, but Kahlan still wants to follow the soldiers and find Darken Rahl. Zedd suggests they do both.
Zedd alters his appearance magically with plans to infiltrate the soldiers, going with them towards Darken Rahl while Richard and Kahlan trail behind and attempt to save the boy. Zedd uses a magical object to make it appear as if shadow people were zooming around the soldiers, and he enters and blasts the spirits with his fire. He introduces himself to Ashgar as another wizard and offers his services. Ashgar is suspicious, noting Masslar, who is tied up. He asks for the Listener, Renn, to see whose side Zedd is truly on. The soldiers go to retrieve Renn only to find out he has been taken from them.
Richard and Kahlan are in the woods with Renn, who is very nervous and struggling to get away. Richard tries to explain that they want to help, but Renn kicks him in the crotch and runs off, but Richard and Kahlan catch up to him with relative ease. Renn says he doesn't mind if the soldiers catch him, because they're going to give him a big room in a castle, but he tells Richard he better be careful. Kahlan inquires about his parents. Renn explains his mother is dead and it was just his father left when he was taken away by a man who used him to cheat at cards. Kahlan wants to bring the boy home and then go back to following Zedd. Ashgar sends half his men out to look for Renn, including his best tracker. Ashgar orders they move on, and tells one of his soldiers to keep their eyes on Zedd.
