Pursuit and the Vassals' Battle Lante, Bennu, and Cy search for Sariphi in the desert. Fenrir reveals to Sariphi that he was once a prince, but after losing a fight to Leonhart as children, his family chopped off his ear and disowned him. Now he wants to be king and make a world where the strong rule the weak. He is intrigued when Sariphi is not afraid and her ring protects her from his spells and decides to win her heart even though she says she only loves Leonhart. Anubis leads Ozmargo's army to defeat several rebels. Nir offers to let Anubis join their side, and stabs him when he refuses. Fenrir reveals Nir is loyal to him ever since he saved him from slavery. Jormungand rescues Anubis and wounds Nir, who escapes with them in pursuit. Sariphi comforts Fenrir when he has a nightmare. Lante arrives and fights Fenrir while Bennu unties her and flies her away. Sariphi makes him double back to rescue Lante, who was losing badly. Just as they make it outside the fortress, Lante and Bennu collapse from exhaustion. Cy telepathically tells Clops where the fortress is, who relays this to Leonhart.
