Synopsis

The search for White Cathay continues. Arak and Valda are now in Byzantine territory and are taken prisoner by an army patrol. The leader of the patrol is convinced they are Slav spies and plans to kill them, but an eerie piping sound frightens the soldiers, driving them away. That night, the piping awakens Valda and lures her into a dance with a satyr. Meanwhile, a centaur lures Arak to the top of a nearby mountain, where Arak discovers his own likeness has been carved, larger-than-life, into the pinnacle of the mount.
