Synopsis:
On the dead moon Anuleous, Arion has been ensnared by a cosmic energy being that was responsible for his creation. The mage's former master Caculha comes to his aid and engages the being in combat. Back on Earth, Lady Chian and Wyynde face off against Garn Daanuth who has taken possession of Arion's mortal body. Wyynde uses his sword to cut Daanuth. The evil mage abandons Arion's body and flees.
The forces of Chaos and Order observe the conflict. Provoked by her brother, Gemimn makes the briefest of contact with Chaon before being separated by the Lord of Balance, Tynan. The brief contact causes ripples through the universe. It breaks up the battle fought by Caculha and frees Arion from his mother's control.
Arion turns his magic upon the energy being. With the help of Caculha, he is then reunited with his physical form which has been seriously wounded by Wyynde. While Arion recovers, the energy being strikes down Caculha. Angered at his master's apparent death, Arion unleashes his full power against his mother, dispersing her energy across the surface of the moon.
Caculha is not dead though. Arion brings him back to Atlantis where King D'Tilluh is preparing for a civil war.
