Balsa gets sick while they are staying at Hunter's Hole, but of course doesn't tell anyone. Tanda and Chagum have to help her even through her stubbornness. Based on the anime.

The Rungagi is a spiritual creature that is said to be born from humans in order to give life to the earth. When the signs start showing, the fated lovers are to be together. But when politics get involved, trouble begins. Royalty and common folks are not to be together, it's forbidden in the eyes of the Yogoians. What will everyone do when the fate of the country is at stake.

Je me suis souvent demandée ce que Balsa avait fait après sa séparation avec Chagum. Quel était son état d'esprit. Le voici tel que je me l'imagine en quelques mots.

Chagum has returned to life in the palace, returned to a life of pampering, never being hungry, and ionless drudgery. Time has ticked on in his absence, memories change, places change, people change ... Chagum has changed. How will his new spirit react to being chained down when all he wants is to roam again?

Balsa returns to New Yogo just in time for a festival celebrating her adventure with Chagum, and she and Tanda watch a pageant presenting the official version of their story.
