Synopsis
Through communing with a demon, Malagigi learns that Angelica and her brother, Argalia, were sent by their father, the king of White Cathay, to compel the knights of Carolus Magnus to come to their city's aid against barbarian hordes. When one of the knights falls to Argalia in a joust (through sorcerous cheating), honor forces him to agree to accompany them. Later, Arak and Malagigi confront the villains in their camp in the forest. There, Arak is injured and Malagigi is abducted by Angelica's demonic servants.
