Meanwhile back at the castle the queen awakens her sorcerer Grithstane and his pet vulture Nironus to do something about the thieves where the guards failed. Grithstane does by summoning a demon within the Blood-Jewel but also uses he magic to kill the queen with her own shadow.

Titan and Equinus are able to defeat the summoned demon and decide to return the jewel to the castle so it doesn't harm them any longer. Grithstane concerned the jewel hasn't returned yet grows concerned his demon was defeated and decides to summon another stronger variant within the jewel just as Titan using his sling tosses it into his chambers.

Titan and Equinus leave the scene just as Equinus realizes he help Titan for no reward given that the dwarf promised him a share of the Blood-Jewel for his assistance and begin chasing the small man in comedic anger.
