Synopsis:
Green Arrow and Speedy follow a beast that feeds on energy into a strange fog. When the fog clears, they find themselves in another world inhabited by people from several eras.

An old hermit explains that the land is a paradise and people do not age there. The only menace is the beast, called a Gnorl, and two meteors that have started a war.

Green Arrow and Speedy decide to help by taking the two meteors and feeding them to the Gnorl. The energy from the meteors overloads the beast. With both meteors and Gnorl gone, the people return to a state of paradise. The archers return to the real world through the fog.
