Synopsis:
Travis Morgan sees a winged horse and attempts to capture it. He mounts the horse and is carried away to a citadel atop a mountain peak. Shakira follows him on the ground and encounters Arvak Thunderhoof, a centaur who warns her to avoid the citadel known as Grimfang.

When the winged horse lands inside the citadel, the Warlord dismounts. He sees many fine statues dating back through the ages. He also meets Astarte, a green haired woman. She seduces Morgan and tries to give him wine. Just then Shakira arrives, having climbed to the citadel in cat form.

The wine is exposed as a potion that would have transformed Morgan into a statue. Astarte herself is revealed as a harpy. Morgan uses her own wine to turn her into stone. She was in flight at the time and crashes to the floor after her transformation. Her body shatters on impact.
