Eradan overlooks Cair Andros one night, awaiting news from his messenger. When the messenger does not return at the expected time, he sends a scout party to make sure he wasn't killed. The party itself finds his dead body, and a message scrawled on a piece of paper covered in ink and blood. Before he died, he managed to write out "They accep" on the paper. Two men decide to return to Cair Andros and tell Eradan, while the other two take care of his body.

By the time they get back to Cair Andros, the red death has been learned about in Cair Andros, and one scout has already developed some symptoms of the red death, so they are immediately barred from the city. From there, the healthy one tells the guards that he received the message "They accep[t]", and one man from the walls immediately delivers that message to Eradan, while the scouts are sent into the woods to die, and are told to stay off the roads.

When Eradan receives the story and the message, he immediately knows what the message meant. He thanks his guard, and heads off to his study to plan how he will deliver this to the courts.
