Synopsis:
Amethyst's battle with Mordru is interrupted by Flaw who holds Princess Emerald captive. Child possesses the body of Amethyst's best friend. Amethyst does not want to kill her and tries to force Child to leave her body. Mordru recovers and prepares to strike Amethyst from behind. Donal and his father arrive just in time. Donal sacrifices his own life and is struck down by Mordru. Amethyst then removes Child from Princess Emerald, but Child claims that Chaos has already one. Lord Topaz mourns the loss of his sons.
