Larna returns to the realm, which she first appeared in. The Silver Lady had told her that the Warlock is trying to take over the kingdom here, after being defeated in adventure #24. The path leads on. To the city of the Merlonds. The city that remains in Larna’s nightmares.
It is just as she remembers it. Slaves walking around with their heads down. The Merlonda strolling around, heads held high in an arrogant posture. The Warlock has now taken over the role as King. He killed the man and took over his shape and form. The Prince does not suspect anything, but the Princess does. She was soon silenced and sent away from the city.
When Larna is caught in the city she is sent out to a brutal underground prison run by strange deformed ‘creature-like’ men. Inside this prison she meets the Princess and they plan their escape.
Darius just stalls for time. He does everything he can to put obstacles in Larna’s way. The Dark Lord that he worships needs a sacrifice and Princess Mia from Adventure Number 24 is the perfect answer. Larna faces a running battle through the streets of the city fighting off the city guard in an attempt to get to Mia before it is too late. She has the help of the Princess, who turns out to be quite the Tom Boy and warrior.
The Warlock is all-powerful in this city. He seems to have completely control over everything and everyone, tricking everyone and clouding their minds to all the evil that he is plotting and twisting, in his disguise as the King. People even start turning to worship the same Dark Lord.
Larna helps the Princess back into the palace, but Mia has already gone. She has to go and stop Darius from bringing his Lord into the world. She faces a difficult decision. The Warlock is the only man who can send her home, but she cannot leave him alive to enslave this world. An old enemy then makes an appearance.
