In chapter eleven, Matty went to Leader to get the messages that he would deliver to the other communities. While there, Leader used his gift of seeing beyond to see through Forest, to find Kira. Leader found that Forest was "thickening" and becoming dangerous, even for Matty. Leader then said that he knew of Matty's gift, but did not know what it was. He told Matty to use it wisely and not waste it.
In chapter twelve, Matty began his journey only with his dog, Frolic. On the fourth night, he ran out of food. He was not at all worried though, because there were plenty wild berries, nuts and fish. Soon, Matty realized what Leader meant by "thickening". Forest was becoming darker and it smelled. The branches and logs that Matty used to sit on and use were decaying and crumbled when used. Even the fish were slower to bite at the hooks and the animal were fiercer.
