Arak rescues a captured pagan priestess from being burned alive, which upsets a Byzantine crowd that was expecting entertainment. With the Byzantines now turned against him, Arak watches as the priestess brings several holy effigies to life to attack the crowd. When Arak intervenes to save the life of General Cometas, the priestess relents and they all ride off on animated gold horses.
