While Zuraya is away from her troupe, Baha (Simon Westaway) and his slavers attack their camp. Dar and Tao attempt to rescue them, but are unsuccessful. When Zuraya returns and sees that the camp has been destroyed, she turns to the Seer (Helen Reddy), the one who understands her curse. The Seer touches the Slayer’s collar and sees images of Zuraya and Dar in battle against one another. Zuraya becomes convinced that Dar is the dark one she seeks and believes that his death will end her curse of loneliness. Baha only strengthens Zuraya's convictions when he tells her that Dar kills for pleasure and is the one who enslaved her friends. Baha says that he will free the troupe in exchange for Dar's death. Zuraya is at first overcome with doubt over killing Dar. But she believes that she must kill him in order to save her friends and fulfill her destiny. Zuraya confronts Dar and steals a swatch of his loincloth to give to Slayer. Slayer, who is trained to kill, learns Dar’s scent and begins the hunt.
