Rhydian shows off using eolas in school and Maddy demands to know what he is doing. He shares the secret with Maddy, though she passes out while using eolas after getting too close to some pylons, and her parents tell her not to see Rhydian or use eolas anymore. She runs away instead, going to Rhydian to ask him to leave with her, but he calls her selfish and tells her to just go home to her family that loves her. Betrayed, she runs off anyhow and Rhydian joins her parents as they search frantically for her. Her mother reveals that when she was younger, her cousin Louise discovered eolas and went mad with it, running off into the wild never to be seen again; her worst fear is losing Maddy the same way.
