Isla sees his body and remembered what Mika told her, that help comes from unexpected places and to know kindness for what it is. Haiki loses the fight and gets killed by Koch.Īt the end of the book, Haiki is mentioned a little bit. Haiki said that Koch would have to kill him first before he could kill Isla.

After a little bit of confusion, Koch and the Narral appear, and Koch said he will kill Isla for releasing the Taken. When Haiki digs up all the furballs successfully, Isla tells him to chant, "Run fast, be safe, live free." They all repeat this and the Taken who were attacking were freed from the pleach. Isla tells Haiki, Simmi and Tao to dig and find the white tail tips of the Narral and the pleached foxes. When they escape the forest, they found the blood bark tree. They arrived at Petris Wood, a forest made of mysterious ancient trees that altered memories. Haiki leads Isla, Siffrin, Simmi and Tao to the Mage's lair, but before that, he leads them through a dangerous swamp, and Isla had to trust him. Koch told Haiki that his family was long dead. He tells her that when the Taken attacked the Elder Rock, he fled, but Koch spotted him and stopped him. When he comes back to Isla, she is outraged. He then slips away, feeling guilty and a little confused, not knowing that by helping The Mage he would be hurting Isla and her friends. When Simmi, Tao, and Isla take their giant journey to the Elders' Rock, he leads the Taken to the Elders' Rock while the fox Shaya is performing shana-sharm. They explained their situation to the skulk and explained they were not pleached. Isla and Haiki travel to the Wildlands where they eat a rabbit that belonged to Rupus' skulk. He later helps her chase off two dogs by lying and trickery. Haiki is first shown drowning in the river having to be rescued by Isla. The book itself said that Haiki knew his skulk was dead, like Isla's (Later in the book). Presumably he was offered his family in return. He makes a deal with The Mage to lead Isla to Elder Rock and be let in so the Taken can attack the Elders. In The Books Before the Books (or possibly during The Taken)

However, seeing through Foxcraft should be a Foxcraft. He is, however, skilled at unmasking Foxcraft users such as being able to see a fox slimmering without much trouble. He appears to be bad at Foxcraft when Isla tries to teach him. After Isla having to tell him to be quiet multiple times, he remembers when his ma said that he "talks too much." He was also quite talkative and excited during his time in The Elders. He is a friendly fox who has a friendship with Isla, but their trust is broken when Isla finds out about Haiki working for the Mage. Haiki cares a lot about his family and in The Mage he is described as happy-go-lucky. His pelt is long and Isla said (in her mind) that it was longer than any other pelt she had seen. He is said to have brown eyes and a thick tail, which he tends to wag a lot. He is young, but most likely older than a cub. 4.1 Before the Books (or possibly during The Taken).
