Sadly, aside from commenting that he plans to spend a while with his family further to the west, this is the last time that Summer Wind mentions Jonas/Suj to her sister. Smoke Cat Watching neither asks after him nor scries for him, attempting to convince herself that she is indifferent to his whereabouts. The season passes, and then another, and still the shaman receives no word from the man. Summer Wind is thriving at the Academy, and arranges for Smoke Cat to come soon and visit her there.

Immediately the sisters set a regular time each week to communicate with each other and share news. Hearing of this, Jonas suggests that they enchant bangles with a tiny bell or chime that will ring when they are being scried, similar to when Silver Smoke warmed the genie jewel as a signal that she wished to be summoned out of it. This brilliant refinement is implemented between the two, as well as being relayed to the mages of the Arcane Academy who are delighted with its potential uses.

After a couple of months, Summer Wind masters the subtle art of long distance scrying, and accidentally discovers that if she is viewing Smoke Cat Watching at the same time that her sister calls up a vision of her, a stronger connection is formed and they can carry on a brief conversation. This innovation is not entirely new, but according to lore, the mages involved must each have, for example, a shard from one crystal in order to establish a stable link. Seemingly, a blood kinship suffices.

Although the metropolis as a whole is quite intimidating for her, the Academy is very much its own small community, and within its sheltering confines Summer Wind is able to settle in reasonably quickly. She is young for a student there, but this suits her temperament, and soon she even starts to make a few friends. Periodically Suj shows her the sights and instructs the girl on how to conduct herself prudently in the marketplace, so Summer Wind is not completely bereft of familiar faces.

Once inside the city, however, it is a slightly different story. Twice the girl is targeted by thieves, but each time they are foiled by her companion's vigilance. Thus the transfer of the wand to the magicians of the Arcane Academy is accomplished without mishap, and the wizards appear genuinely enthusiastic about acquiring the relic for study. Summer Wind, once again calling herself by her true name, is tested for suitability as a prospective pupil, and passes all examinations with ease.
