Lyra must guide Niko, Mandok and Flicker through a deadly sky maze, past the fearsome Arachtaur, as a vicious three-headed monster stalks the team. When the quest almost fails, Lyra makes a tremendous sacrifice.

The Hill Giants send Niko and Lyra into the Shoodakooda Wood, where their greatest regrets become real. With the help of Niko and his Sword, Lyra puts her past behind her. Meanwhile, Mandok is captured by an enemy.
