Arushka now has the horses she wanted but Noah tells her he can't help her bring back more animals to Haven — he wants to go home. Bidding them farewell he heads off towards the Mine. On the way a brave and loyal Dolly saves him again and his journey must be abandoned. The Shadowmaster exerts his power. Tao must mine more Thunderstone! He orders Tao to leave Noah to him, he has a plan! The Nomads have made their way back to the Cavern, but unknown to them, lurking in the darkness, following and watching their every move is Ferris. The Triumvirate summon Noah's family and Dr. Pretorius to appear before them. The charge is one of unauthorised scientific experimentation. North Col's strict laws must be obeyed if they wish to remain part of the community. As the sun rises on a new day Noah wakes from a dream of a world full of animals. He forges a pact with Arushka — together they will save animals from past and bring them to the future, to Haven.
