After conferring with his father and friends, he and two companions, Jeffery and Sean, and a royal counselor Angelon, set out toward the east to identify and find this elusive prize. Once they begin the journey, John notices many things he had never seen or heard, like trees which talk. When the three companions arrive to the port city of Aphixis. They find a place to rest and then go out to see what they can learn. In the process, out of pity for a young woman (Shebi) enslaved by the Warriors of the North, John purchases her freedom. Soon after this, these same warriors capture John and make him a slave on one of their ships. While John is taken to sea his friends and the young woman desperately search for him and realize that he is no longer in the city. The three, then resolve to continue their journey in hopes of finding him. While John is on the warrior's ship, he witnesses their savage attack on a helpless vessel.

John awakes to find himself on the shore of a strange land. While there he briefly helps a poor farmer and his family then continues his journey. In the process a young man named Brian joins him and they continue on to the east, until they come to a pristine valley, unspoiled by human presence. At the other end of the valley is a mountain, which John knows has the Zahab Chokmah. In the meantime John's friends sail to the Kingdom of Dulos, where Shebi's father is king. Shebi's father is eager to assist in the search for John, so he sends his son Scandalon to help them in their search.
