Olivia heads for Dontgointhe Castle after leaving the dam, and of course Gunther appears and follows her, claiming she's after HIS dragon. It takes awhile to clear this up, and they part ways at the castle.
Igor lets Olivia in and goes to get tea, and the Skeek has a strange reaction; her fur starts turning white below her neck! She seems to panic, thinking she's about to be possessed again, and Igor grabs her to keep her from leaving after she mentions the name of Jesti Wrathbone.
Things calm down, and Igor explains that he carries a piece of the original Igor's spirit, somehow, and that Olivia is reacting to that after having been possessed. She finds out that Jesti's children were raised by Skeeks above ground, but not what happened to them after the town was taken over by other Sylvanian races. Igor went on to found the house of Wrathbone, where all other Igors come from.
They discuss the Master Control System briefly, and how to stop it. The trolls have been trying to stop the flow of 'illiaster' to it for centuries, so Igor suggests that is the proper course of action.
