Following the directions of the Brule elder, the party follows a river path. After a full day’s ride they make camp on a hillside. That night Raylan and Jed fall into a magical fugue and are shown visions of a child in jeopardy. Thinking that he will rescue the child, Raylon springs into action with Jed close by. In his confusion, Raylan ends up shooting Jed in the shoulder before they are able to collect their wits about them once again and see that they were in fact bewitched by an evil entity. After very little rest or sleep through the night, the next morning they continue their trek in uncomfortable silence.
