In the ensuing battle, the violent Caterans slaughter the Cho-Arrim indiscriminately. Gerrard orders the Mercadian troops to stop but he finds himself and his crew under arrest once more. Back in Mercadia City, Takara brokers a new deal with the magistrate: the crew will repair the damaged Weatherlight and restore its flying mechanisms for him in exchange for their freedom. Sisay, Hanna, and Orim will travel to Saprazzo, a rival trade city inhabited by enlightened merfolk with the ability to switch between fish tails and human legs at will. There they will secure an artifact required to fix the ship, while Takara and the male members of the crew remain in captivity. The magistrate agrees.
