Synopsis:
Garn Daanuth successfully breaks free from Arion's body and begins to terrorize the land of Khe-Wannantu. Mara hides from an angry mob, but she is eventually able to shape-shift into a dragon. Chian and Wyynde leave the palace to look for her while Daanuth assaults the village with a powerful storm. Arion consults with Moonstalker, then makes mystic contact with his father's crystal back in Atlantis. He is able to combine power with that of Caculha's spirit and use the energy to combat Garn. However, Garn unleashes a tidal wave which wipes out the Khe-Wannantu. Arion is able to bind Garn underwater uses a magic chain. He returns to the surface to find that his friends have survived, but nearly all of Wyynde's people are dead.
