It is night time and Moko is watching the shooting stars from Totemi’s village and is remembering how he once thought that a lady blew the stars in the sky from the embers of her bonfire. And suddenly, an immense star, a huge ball of fire, appears from the sky and falls to the depths of the forest. Totemi and Moko take off to see where it has landed and discover that a huge flaming rock has made a hole the size of a volcano’s crater in the ground and is setting fire to the forest around it. Totemi is scared that the sky is angry and Moko, who remembers Mei Li begins to dance like she did while playing Alarick’s flute. It begins to rain and slowly the flames die down. Moko thinks that the clouds must have seen him dance and heard his flute and come to save his new friend’s land.
