Summary
Ten years ago in the Mole Hole black market Windy and Black Bard are hiding from those seeking them out for the explosion which damaged merchandise.

With the exits covered and the searchers out to murder them, Windy thinks of a person called the Cleaner who may know of another way out. Black Bard however looks pale and then faints.

Black Bard is administered medicine by 'gramps' as Windy refers to him as and seems set to recover from an injury he sustained, exacerbated by the pollution around them.

Gramps informs Windy not to think that all people are like the ones down here. Black Bard joins them and feels he owes them for helping and offers to pay back in song, one that appears like magic.

Recognizing the skill, gramps asks if Black Bard's master is not the Blue Bard. That is the case and one day Black Bard wants to be like him, a bard freer than anyone.

A knock at the door prompts gramps to lead Black Bard and Windy to the dust shoot where they can escape. A map is given for Windy to go as well where he can find work. Gramps is going to stay, stating that he does not have enough dreams to venture to the surface with them.

Black Bard and Windy come to a vast underground cavern but before the exit they are confronted with vampire bats. In a minor argument over who will use the lamp to fend them off they end up breaking it.

When Windy is bitten and knocked over by a bat, Black Bard takes him with him vowing not to see another person killed in front of his eyes again and reveals his power as a black bird demon.
