The group has begun moving on with their journey. In the previous chapter, before Nastoya, asked the four main people from the group why they were travelling. Igo’s answer was; “A place to die where I can rest, and my spirit go abroad,” The beginning of this chapter reveals that he has found his resting place. He was buried in a sandy mound.
In the novel Le Compte De Monte-Cristo (The French version, novel study.) the captain of the ship dies while at sea. The shipmates give him a proper at sea burial. The tie a heavy piece of metal to him to weigh him down and place his body into the water. Igo’s burial do not indicate much other than he was buried in a sandy mound. This could mean that he was close to water as well. Water signifying emotions, a rebirth, and a representation of death.
The group is continuing to make its way to the Vinkus, and they have just reached the Great Kells. Does that sound familiar? It should. Remember Fiyero? This is the tribe he is the Prince of. On the way there, something catches Elphie’s eye in the water. She decides to rescue it. Coincidentally it is a monkey. (Finally!) This she names him Chistery based off of the noise he makes.
Liir has picked on Elphie for having so many animals. She has crows for Nastoya, a monkey, bees, and the cooks dog. Hopefully the
Kiamo Ko people will let her and the travelling group she is in, stay for a while.
