While the tribe was resting, Arawn was alone on a cliff overlooking their position. The newly-appointed Elder watched over them as he enjoyed the silence when all of a sudden an arrow was shot at him. He quickly caught the arrow and demanded the attacker to show himself.
A girl later emerged, challenging him to a duel. When she lost, she was later identified as Morgan by Arthur who assigned her to protect their ships. She reported that the ships were seized by the Empire. As a punishment, she was appointed as Arawn's second wife.
The next morning, they set out to plan their attack. After they opened the gates and cleared the coast of Imperial Guards, a commander applauded at him, demanding to know Arawn's name whom of course told him that it is only natural that the other introduce himself first. So he identified himself as Gaius, the commander of the Empire's soldiers. After that, Arawn told his companions to go to the ships.
After a few hesitations, they finally agreed and Arawn and Gaius were left for a personal talk. Gaius threw a dagger at Arawn and indeed, Arawn blocked it, releasing the dagger back to the commander. Before more information could be revealed, the ships were already leaving, and Arawn jumped to the ship where Arthur and Riannon were, leaving Gaius with an unfulfilled curiosity.
After the encounter, Ogam healed the man's wounded hand, telling him that there is an Electrum in the dagger, the said metal is the one that killed him in the past. The two talked about the past and filled in Arawn with the information that he missed.
As nighttime falls, Arawn was alone on the ship. And while everyone else is sleeping, Arthur challeged him to a duel. When he lost, he implored Arawn to give his sister happiness.
