The witch manages to throw another rock at Jaguar before Whisper can get in her way. She also avoids being tackled by the slower young man, his change in tactics proving to be futile. Jaguar is little affected by the rock or the mystical attempt to confuse him and retaliates by shooting his last flint dart.

Perhaps Whisper was able to use himself as a distraction. Jaguar Mahoao hits the soft tissue of the woman’s middle a second time. This causes some marked bleeding, and the force of air throws her back a full two strides. The witch is no longer able to physically move, and she labors to breathe, though she is still conscious. With all his pent frustration, Whisper grabs a fallen limb from the ground that still appears to be somewhat solid and bashes in her skull.

Neither young man is physically hurt, merely a bit dazed. The woman lays flat in the mud, facing the sky she will never again see. Her days of mischief are over. The other man who had caused her running to cease is nowhere to be seen, and no sign of his passage exists. The dilemma of the vampire bats has been solved.

Grateful to see that the witch is dead, Whisper calms himself and controls his breathing. Realizing that he is not physically hurt, he knows that remaining calm for a time should be enough to clear his head. He will search the woman to see if she has anything worth confiscating. He turns to his friend, seeing that he is not injured. “At this point, I guess we should return to Bridgetown and tell them of what we have discovered.”

Seeing how Whisper brutally finished their enemy makes Wild Jaguar experience a series of flashbacks. His previous band did that and similar or even worse bloody things after every fight they won, competing with one another who will be the most cruel, while laughing at his sense of pity for the victims. While he agrees that the woman deserved what she got, he's keep standing and looking at what is left of the witch's head, without saying anything. Finally hearing his companion's words causes him to rapidly snap out of his gore memories. "Aye. Let us go." He turns back while adjusting his satchel, don't wanting to eat anything now.

Looking up at the evidence of his act of violence while he searches the woman, Whisper shakes his head, disappointed in himself. Of course the woman had mystically attacked his mental process. With the moment gone and his thoughts again his own, he seems the same person that he always is. The woman is a virtual bounty of trinkets, but nothing adorning her is of any better use than those carried by Jaguar, so there was no point in taking anything.

Pondering the return, the two young men come to the realization of how long they have been gone and how far they traveled. It will require almost a tenday to return, barring distractions, plus crossing back over the river. Rather than attempt to swim the broader expanse as before, it is deemed more expedient to follow along the far bank until the river grows more narrow.

During the return, at separate times, the attention of Jaguar Mahoao is drawn toward four different plants from which he thinks that medicinal materials might be taken. These are not plants that he has encountered before. Along the river's edge, the two find several stones and ingots that should be of some value, if not personal use, but like the plants, they are unfamiliar.

Wild Jaguar does his best to recognize these findings and will also search for material he can use to make a new darts for himself and stones useful for his friend's sling. Then he proposes to make a camp here, as he feels that something new is awaiting them yet.
