Arak is dead. Now, his spirit has scaled a mountain to find He-No, God of Thunder, causing a ruckus. He-No acknowledges Arak as his son and tells the story of Arak's birth. Arak's mother was attacked by the Great Serpent, but He-No saved her and nursed her back to health. When she returned, pregnant, to her tribe, some believed she carried the child of the Serpent and Arak was a bit of an outcast. Later, the village was decimated by the Serpent's followers and Arak escaped in a canoe, and was eventually found by Vikings. With the story told, He-No sends Arak back to the land of the living.
