Synopsis:
As Travis Morgan and Shakira approach the castle of Deimos they realize that they are being followed. They wait for their pursuers to catch up and discover it to be Tara and Aton.

Meanwhile, inside the castle Deimos has enchanted Jennifer Morgan. He summons Ashiya and together they send Deimos back in time. He strikes a bargain with the Evil One to get back his body. However, the Evil One strips him of his magic to use against Mongo Ironhand, who has come to the rescue of the wizard Sarrgon. Deimos is sent back to his own time.

When the Warlord and his companions enter the castle, Deimos fires on them with an Atlantean weapon. Aton is killed. When Morgan fights back, Deimos attempts to use Jennifer as a shield. His servant Faaldren betrays him to save his friend Jennifer. Deimos then flees the castle.

The Warlord follows Deimos, leaving Shakira to stay behind with Jennifer and the wounded Tara. A pack of wolves catches Deimos first. Morgan rescues his enemy and starts a fire to keep him warm. When Deimos regains his senses, Morgan threatens to shoot his old foe. Instead, he holsters his weapon and leaves Deimos to be ripped to shreds by the dogs.
