Comments:
This issue introduces Jennifer Morgan, the daughter of the Warlord. She was born years before Travis Morgan discovered Skartaris. She was sent to live with her aunt after the death of her mother.

Synopsis:
The Warlord and Shakira fly through the sky on the winged horse Morgan recently found. Near the terminator which marks the entrance to Skartaris, Morgan spots a ship from the outside world being attacked by a sea monster. After killing the monster, Morgan is surprised to find his daughter Jennifer on board the boat.

Jennifer had been raised by her aunt after the death of her mother. When Morgan was rumored to still be alive after the return of Stryker, she helped fund an expedition to find him. The leader of the expedition is Pat Chambers, Stryker's friend who wants to kill Morgan. However, Chambers has fallen in love with Jennifer, so he gives up his vendetta.

During the reunion between father and daughter, a band of barbarians attack. Morgan fends them off until their leader puts an end to the fight. Their leader is Aton, the Warlord's former herald, grown to manhood. Jennifer and Chambers soon depart after learning that Travis Morgan is a hero here is Skartaris.
