In this chapter, Princess Nell ascends a mountain landscape transitioning from a harsh desert to lush greenery, guided by the Young Lady's Illustrated Primer, which dynamically illustrates her journey and challenges. She reflects on her quest to collect eleven jeweled keys from various Faery Kings and Queens, recounting the loss of her companion Purple during a fierce magical battle with a djinn king. The chapter ends with Nell arriving in the land of King Coyote, where the keys have been stolen, setting the stage for further trials.
