Wounded and worn out, Ashaf, Guideau, and Cugat are all that stand between an Executioner with a fortress full of Paladins at his command and the Demon Sword.

Ashgan has lost control, and Ashaf finally unleashes Guideau to stop it. But even with the curse undone, can the beast stand up to the Demon Sword's apocalyptic power?

Ashaf heads off with Helga to find somewhere safer for her to stay, but while they are gone, Guideau overhears a bunch of kids talking about a witch and goes to investigate. But is the rumor all that it seems?
