It has come time for the Denynso men to say goodbye to their mates as they prepare for their journey through Uoria. Each spends some special time with the woman that he loves, and each of the women have a token of their adoration for their man so that he can think of her when he is away from home. These special gifts perfectly exemplify who the women are, and the men tuck them away gratefully, happy that they will still have tangible reminders of their mates during their journey. In the backs of their minds, though, they wonder if these items may prove useful as they face their challenges.

Once they are finally on their journey, the first place that they visit is the old, burned-down Klimnu prison. What they discover inside a dungeon, however, completely changes what they thought they knew about the planet and the Denynso themselves. Soon they are on a different type of mission and one warrior, Lynx, will discover that far more waits for him on this journey than new species and plants.
