Prologue Summary: “Jonathan”

Jon Oaks is lying in Old Man’s Cave, recuperating. Ted the Bug introduces himself and asks how he’s faring. Jonathan says he’s doing badly and cries as he recounts the events of the battle on the night of the Harvest Moon. He is particularly upset by having seen Lucius with the Hooded One; Lucius is his hero, and the other survivors are saying Lucius is a traitor. Ted assures him that Lucius is loyal and would never betray the Valley people. He also tells Jonathan that he did the right thing by alerting the others to what he saw that night. This makes Jon feel better; Ted leaves and encourages him to get well soon so he can rejoin his regiment.
