Brainor Warhammer, who died in Gauntlgrym, ends up in Iruladun, the magical forest of the goddess Mielikka, and is amazed to meet there the long-dead Catti-brie, Regis and Wulfgar. Catti-brie, who has been in Iruladun with Regis for a long time, explains that the goddess is granting them all a second chance: they will be born again to help Drizzt Do'Urden when he is in grave danger from the Spider Queen Lolth, for he is the one , who is spoken of in the ancient prophecy. Catti-brie encourages her friends to accept the goddess's gift, to be reborn, to grow, and to meet again in Icewind Dale on the night of the vernal equinox, when they turn twenty-one. However, not all Companions from Mithral Hall like this idea: Bruenor dreams of finally finding peace, and Wulfgar does not want to accept anything from Mielikka. In addition, there are many difficult years ahead, and no one can know for sure whether the cherished meeting will take place.
