The great Dwarf King Ansil confronts a vicious god amidst the ruins of manmade Zorel. The king successfully slays the all-seeing serpent, isolating its tail, with its many eyes, which he immediately makes use of, revealing his traitor to be his own second-in-command, named Gredyl. The dwarf King buries the tail. Meanwhile, the dying god, never truly dying, plots his revenge. Cheron and Candide of the North Wood slay a village of elves to extort their secret taken from Arlot.
