When they arrive back to the palace, [[Besk]], Kai's Chancellor, informs him of a request from the [[Wode]], the humans that administer the States. The Wode want Kai to meet with a Liveborn female in a [[State#Communal States|Communal State]] so they can procreate. Kai initially doesn't want to go, but Besk eventually convinces him to do so. Rather than meet with the Liveborn that the Wode recommend is most compatible with him, Kai chooses to meet with his least compatible option.

Kai begins the tale of how he met Melhi, thirty years ago. It was in a [[State#Border States|Border State]], which at the time Kai had very little experience with. He brought a full legion with him, fifty thousand men, because he didn't know what to expect. Kai soon finds out that two other Liveborn have access to the Border State as well. He also learns that the State has two very valuable resources; a spice that turns those who consume it into great warriors, and a metal that can cut through steel. Kai has thoughts about how it seems too convinientconvenient that he discovers such a Border State only after having conquered his own State.

As Kai is being led through the village, a large man made of steel comes from one of the huts. The man reveals that he is a Liveborn, like Kai, and that he'll have an easy victory as Kai is from a Fantasy State. Kai doesn't bother listening to the taunting, however, and turns to leave. He doesn't like the sheer convinienceconvenience of the situation; a place to fight that doesn't put his state in danger, the fighting location having ideal tactical positions for Kai personally, and the fact that there are three Liveborn involved to encourage alliances. Kai feels like a puppet, and accuses the other Liveborn, Melhi, of being one too. He then leaves the Border State.
