Son arrivée crée cependant la panique, car pour les résidents, le " dehors " n'est pas censé exister. De plus, l'intrus est venu avec le Truc, un objet doué de parole qui prétend connaître l'origine du petit peuple. Et qui fait surtout cette révélation : le magasin est sur le point d'être détruit ! Il n'y a dès lors plus qu'une solution : l'exode. Tâche titanesque pour des êtres de dix centimètres de haut, dont Masklinn est devenu le prophète involontaire...
