Synopsis
Valiant is distraught over Aleta's departure for the Misty Isles, and asks King Arthur to send him on a mission which will take his mind off his broken heart. Arthur agrees to send Valiant to meet Gawain in the hinterlands, where Gawain is investigating rumors that a local village has been terrorized. Meanwhile, Rowanne boards Mordred's ship, and asks Aleta's forgiveness for leading Valiant to believe Aleta has sided with Mordred. Rowanne explains that Val's coldness towards Aleta was due to his fears that she was conspiring against King Arthur. Aleta reconsiders her departure for the Misty Isles, and against her father's wishes, disembarks to make amends with Valiant.
In the hinterlands, Gawain's men are massacred by the "Night People," a strange tribe of nearly subhuman beings who live underground in a remote area of the forest. Gawain and Valiant survive and are taken hostage in the Night People's deep subterranean chasm. Finding Valiant's horse, Rowanne and Aleta ride into the forest where they discover the lair of the Night People. Heroically, they succeed in rescuing Gawain and Valiant. Safe above ground, Valiant and Rowanne renew their friendship, and Valiant and Aleta celebrate their reunion.
