Inside the Weaver’s cottage, Feyre braces the door open from the inside while the Weaver approaches through the dark. Ianthe and two guards follow Feyre across the threshold, assuming Feyre is trapped and weak. Hidden behind the door, Feyre calls them the Weaver’s “dinner,” releases the handle, and escapes as the door slams shut and Ianthe and the guards begin screaming.

Feyre runs back to the place where the Suriel fell and finds it dying from its wounds. She offers to heal it, but the Suriel stops her, saying Feyre’s magic is spent and would be wasted. When Feyre asks why it came despite knowing it was being tracked, the Suriel explains that it came because Feyre had been kind to it and had faced her fear.

As Feyre stays beside it, the Suriel reveals that its old advice to remain with the High Lord had always meant Rhysand. It urges Feyre again to stay with him until everything is righted, warns that worse things are coming because blood will draw them, and makes one final request: that Feyre leave the world a better place than she found it. Feyre realizes the Suriel helped her not only because of kindness, but because it too was a dreamer.

After the Suriel dies, Feyre grieves over its body until Helion arrives and tells her it is not safe to remain there. Before Helion destroys the body, Feyre asks for his crimson cloak and carefully covers the Suriel with it, rejecting the indignity of the rags Ianthe had given it. Helion then burns the body to ash with white flame and takes Feyre back to camp.
