------------------------------------------------------------
Episode 1
Pilot


It is the 5th century in England, and the last Celtic tribes still struggle against the Roman invaders. King Derek seeks to unite the tribes, but King Gar refuses to listen. Derek's younger son, Conor, rescues a slave girl who is fleeing warriors from another tribe, but the girl disappears into the forest. Conor's brother is marrying the daughter of another chieftain, but Conor's heart belongs to Claire, Gar's daughter.

When Gar's wife, Queen Diana, announces that her Roman cousin is visiting soon, he decides to attack and destroy Derek's village. Conor and Claire return from their secret rendezvous to find Conor's village in flames and everyone dead. Claire confronts her father, but he ignores her questions. Meanwhile, Diana's 400-year-old advisor Longinus tells Gar that one villager still lives, and Gar sets his men after Conor.

Conor discovers that he is not the only survivor of his village; Fergus, the village champion, had fallen into a cellar while drunk and thus escaped the fire. Conor then meets the mysterious old wizard Galen, who claims Conor will take his father's place and unite all the tribes.

Gar catches Conor and Claire together, but Claire sacrifices herself to save Conor from her father. At her funeral, Galen urges Conor to "hear the roar" of his ancestors. When Claire's image guides Conor to his father's sword, he accepts his fate and agrees to lead the refugees hidden within the forest.

Gar and Diana meet with her cousin Julian and unite their forces. The refugees attack a short time later. Longinus and Galen battle, and it is revealed that Longinus is the centurion who speared Jesus on the cross and was cursed with eternal life and damnation. With a magical blast, Galen defeats Longinus, who disappears.

Conor overpowers King Gar, who tries to buy his freedom, but Queen Diana takes Conor's sword and stabs her own husband, saying that Gar had betrayed them both. After their victory, the refugees ride away with Conor as their leader. Galen watches their departure, then silently vanishes.

-----------------------------------Episode 2
Projector

Conor brawls with Vorgeen, the leader of a neighboring tribe. The fight is interrupted when a merchant named Quadras arrives to demonstrate his magic powder, called "atmos" (what later centuries will call gunpowder). Quadras has three barrels of the powder, and Conor successfully bids for one. Longinus is also interested in the powder, however, and attacks the merchant that night to steal the atmos.

The next morning, Conor and Fergus find Quadras, who claims a demon stole the atmos from him. They take the despondent merchant back to their village, and he urges them to recover the powder. That night Vorgeen's village suffers an explosion, and Queen Diana tells Vorgeen to ally with her — or else she will use the atmos again. Vorgeen and Conor confer, but Vorgeen only wants more atmos, whereas Conor wants to destroy the powder once and for all, for the common good.

In the battle that follows, Longinus reveals a new weapon he has devised, a "projector" (a primitive cannon). The weapon kills Quadras. Fergus finds Quadras' sketchbook, which contains images of a cannon and many other devices, but Conor insists that creating new weapons will only lead to an increase in violence that will destroy them all.

They sneak into Diana's fortress to steal the powder. They are captured, and both Longinus and the atmos are already gone. The heroes escape and find Longinus in Vorgeen's village, sitting atop the barrels and holding a torch. Hoping to end his own eternally accursed life, he ignites the atmos and destroys Vorgeen's village. Alas, Longinus survives to continue his eternal suffering.

Episode 3
The Chosen

Conor and his band agree to escort a boy named Glas to Cathbad — Glas is the new Druid king and must go to Cathbad to be crowned. Sinsar, a man from Glas' village, attacks the group and grabs the boy, claiming Glas belongs to the village. Then Queen Diana appears with her Roman soldiers and takes everyone prisoner. Desiring the boy's power for herself, she decides to escort him to Cathbad personally.

Conor devises an escape plan for Glas; he and his friends hide in Glas' tent with the boy, waiting until Diana's soldiers leave to search for them before finally sneaking away. Glas wants to return home, not realizing that Diana's men have torched his village and killed his father. Instead, Conor takes the boy to Cathbad.

Once there, however, Furbaide, the head Druid, sends Conor's band away, insisting that non-Druids may not witness the coronation. Then he orders his henchman Goll, who has attacked Conor's group several times, to follow the band and kill them. Furbaide wants Glas killed, because if the boy is crowned Furbaide will lose his authority. Diana learns of the murder plot and is furious — she wants the boy's power, so she has Furbaide executed for interfering with her. Meanwhile, Glas' mother Slana finds Conor and accompanies him back into Cathbad.

During the ceremony, Goll tries to kill Glas but is stopped by Diana. Glas kills Goll and accepts his destiny as King of the Druids. Glas invites his mother to live in his castle where she'll be safe, and thanks Conor for teaching him how to be a leader.
----------------------------------------------------
Episode 4
Banshee

The Kulan tribe has been hearing the cry of the banshee at night, and two of them have died since the terrifying wails began. Conor helps the Kulan leader Morvern hunt for the banshee but stops him from killing a beautiful girl they find in the forest. Conor decides to bring the girl back to his own tribe, to protect her from Morvern, but along the way the girl has a vision that she believes predicts Conor's death. Suddenly she screams, and Morvern and his men leap from the forest and attack her and Conor.

Conor is wounded by a bolt from Morvern's crossbow. The girl drags Conor into the forest, where she removes the poison from his wound. Morvern's men are killed but he escapes. The girl tells Conor her name is Shannon, and she admits that she has visions of people's deaths. But she has saved Conor's life, and his tribe accepts her out of gratitude. But her welcome is soon worn out when she screams at the same time as a baby is born dead.

Conor agrees to take Shannon back to her own village, Mount Kisare, but Shannon has the same vision of Conor's death and flees into the forest, where she meets Longinus. He wants to know that he can die, but Shannon cannot foresee his death.

Conor's group finally reaches Mount Kisare, but Shannon's mother will not allow the girl in, because by saving Conor she defied an ancient custom. Conor takes Shannon to the river Tanis, where she drinks the magical waters and loses her prophetic powers. At the last moment, however, Morvern leaps from hiding and fires his crossbow. The bolt strikes Shannon and kills her — it was her own death she had foreseen, not Conor's. As she dies the clan hears the Roar again for the first time in weeks.
---------------------------------------------------
Episode 5
Doyle's Solution

Conor and Fergus meet a man named Doyle, who is followed by a band of children from all over the coutryside. Doyle and the children join Conor's group. Doyle tells Conor he has saved these children from war-torn villages and placed them under his care as part of a vow to his now-dead wife, Lisa. The oldest of Doyle's band of children is 19-year-old Molly. Fergus inquires about Molly's past. She tells him that her father abandoned her and her mother when she was a baby. Ever since the Romans conquered their village and slew her mother, Molly has wished for her estranged father's death.

Fergus, unnerved by certain details of Molly's story, asks Conor to check for a scar behind Molly's ear. Conor checks and signals to Fergus that there is a scar. Fergus now knows that Molly is his daughter. As Molly takes an afternoon stroll through the forest, Fergus catches up with her and reveals who he is. She punches him and runs off. Back at the vilage, Molly tells Doyle that she is leaving his group and the village. This news causes Doyle to act oddly; he is clearly obsessed with Molly. Catlin overhears Doyle ranting to the children and warns Conor and Fergus. Doyle tries to coerce Conor into banishing Fergus, but Conor refuses. Afterward, Catlin asks Molly to give Fergus a chance, and Tully convinces Fergus not to give up hope. Fergus and Molly meet and make their peace with one another.

Doyle abducts Molly and sends two of his brainwashed children to murder Fergus and Conor, who both capture their attackers. Doyle believes Molly is his dead wife. As he tries to kiss her, Fergus arrives to save her. Doyle throws Molly into a fast-moving river. Fergus kills Doyle, then rushes to save Molly, who is being pulled toward a waterfall. Fergus isn't fast enough, and Molly is swept over the edge — into the arms of Conor, who reached a ledge beneath the waterfall in the nick of time.

Safe once again, Molly tells Fergus she needs to go off on adventures of her own — like her father did. He bids her farewell, then returns Doyle's other misled children to their rightful parents.
------------------------------------------------------------
Episode 6
Red Boot

While Conor and Catlin are out hunting, a local villager stumbles into them. He pushes a tube into Catlin's hands and tells her to "get it to the rock tower." He then falls forward, revealing several arrows in his back. Conor and Catlin escape before a company of Roman soldiers, lead by Pasolinus, arrive to find the dead vilager's body.

Back at the village, Conor discovers that the tube contains a scroll filled with unusual writing. That night, Catlin sneaks into Conor's hut and reads the scroll, which makes her weep. Meanwhile, Pasolinus berates Queen Diana, who is politically obliged to endure the tirade.

The next night, Catlin meets secretly in the forest with a Roman soldier, Anturus. She tells him she has the scroll. Meanwhile, at a feast in Diana's castle, Longinus tries to convince Pasolinus, an official historian of Rome, to recast in a more favorable light Longinus' role in the death of Christ. Later, Diana woos one of the Roman soldiers and tells him to bring her the scroll — and to slay Pasolinus.

The next day Catlin sneaks off to meet Anturus, but finds his body speared to a tree. Conor catches her and demands to know why she betrayed him. Before she can explain, they are captured by Pasolinus. Diana's corrupted soldier shoots an arrow at Pasolinus — but Longinus grabs the arrow in mid-flight and flings it into the soldier who fired it, killing him.

In the castle dungeon, Pasolinus tortures Catlin, who wakes later in the night, blinded. She confesses to Conor that she is a Christian, but never told him because she was afraid he wouldn't accept her. She insists that they must deliver the scroll to "the rock tower" at any cost. At dawn, Conor and Catlin are crucified by Pasolinus. Then shouts ring out from beyond the castle walls: Fergus and Tully taunt Pasolinus with another scroll-tube. Conor and Catlin break free and take hostage Pasolinus' beloved eunuch, Nilus. They are given horses and ride free, joining the others. When the Romans follow, the heroes split up. The Romans follow Fergus and Tully. Conor and Catlin ride to a secret valley. As night falls, even though Catlin is still blind, she finds the rock tower.

They enter the tower and find a library at the summit. There, a Monk gratefully takes the scroll from Catlin and places it with thousands of others — the writings of the Apostles. Pasolinus and his soldiers enter. As Conor fights the soldiers, Pasolinus reaches for the scroll. It burns his hand and rolls to Catlin. As she picks it up, her sight is restored. Conor dispatches the soldiers, but Pasolinus grabs a torch to burn all the scrolls. Longinus enters and fights Pasolinus. Then the scroll glows and shoots out beams that destroy Pasolinus.

The scroll is a letter, the monk tells Catlin, from Christ to his brother. At the monk's urging, Catlin reads the letter. Later, at their village, Conor brings Catlin flowers and assures her she never needs to keep secrets from him.
---------------------------------------------------------
Episode 7
Spear of Destiny

Conor tries to convince the Mountain People to join his confederation of tribes but their leader, Brach, mocks him and sends his men to kill Conor, Fergus and Catlin. The trio seeks refuge in a cave and finds a sanctum that contains a golden spear set beneath a cross. Against Catlin's advice, Conor takes the mysterious spear.

At that moment, far away in Queen Diana's castle, Longinus wakes screaming, "It's here!" He rallies Queen Diana's soldiers and orders them to find the spear at any cost.

Conor receives a vision from the spear, of Longinus spearing a man on a cross. Catlin tells him of Jesus, the god who was killed by the spear, and tells Conor to destroy the spear. He puts it in a bonfire and watches the flames consume it. But the next morning, the spear is retrieved undamaged from the ashes.

Wielding the spear, Conor returns to the Mountain People's village and compels them all to bow before him. Conor goes from clan to clan, uniting all the tribes under the power of the spear. At a confederation meeting, Conor plans an all-out attack on the Roman occupying army. Later, Fergus confronts Conor, who he thinks is changing — and not for the better. Conor insists he is following his father's dream of a united country. Fergus almost believes him ... until Conor commands Fergus to bow before him, like the others do.

Catlin confronts Conor and warns him that the spear is evil. Conor argues with her, then finds the confrontation was a diversion — the spear has been stolen. Without the spear, Conor loses his grip on power. The morning of the planned attack on the Romans, he panics as the tribes fight among themselves. He attacks Catlin, demanding she return the spear. As he tries to drown her, she screams that he has become the spear's slave. He halts and breaks down, realizing she is right.

Fergus returns the spear to the cave where the trio found it. He is about to break it when he is interrupted by Longinus, who has followed him. Longinus hopes to finally die by impaling himself on the spear. Longinus knocks Fergus aside and takes the spear. Visions from 400 years ago overwhelm him. He remembers his wife and family, and stabbing Christ on the cross. He recalls returning home; watching his family suddenly age and turn to dust; returning to the empty cross and screaming. He collapses and drops the spear, which Conor picks up. Longinus begs to be killed with the spear. Conor refuses and hurls the spear into the stormy sky. Lightning strikes, and the clouds recede as the land returns to peace. Conor and Fergus go home.

Back at Diana's castle, Longinus tells Diana that he will beg for death no longer; he will now devote himself to eradicating the works of Christ and remaking the world in his own image.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Episode 8
The Eternal

In a fit of desperation, Longinus brands himself but the burn disappears. He declares that everyone across the land will be likewise branded with his symbol, as a symbol of their loyalty to him.

In a remote village, Conor, Fergus, Tully and Catlin attend a ceremony in honor of the impending birth of the first child of a chieftain named Alwyn. The ceremony is interrupted by a Druid priest named Arn, who brings a message to Conor from the Druids: "Come."

Conor and Fergus respond to the summons and go to the Druid castle of Cathbad, where 7-year-old Glas, a.k.a. "Father," declares that the head of each village must symbolically wed a Druid novice so that the Druids will be more strongly connected with the people. Though Conor is hesitant, Fergus eagerly agrees on his behalf.

Longinus announces the formation of a new alliance. He urges the tribes to forsake Conor's confederation and join his. When Alwyn refuses, Longinus attacks him. Longinus returns to Queen Diana's castle. He compliments her on her loyalty to him, but she resents him for destroying her reign and reducing her to being a queen in title only. Longinus then asks Arn, who wears Longinus' brand, for information about Conor. Meanwhile, Alwyn dies from his wounds, and Catlin and Tully, who witnessed his slaying, leave to find Conor.

In Cathbad, a nervous Conor is readied for the wedding ceremony. Fergus snickers with glee at Conor's predicament until he sees Conor's bride: It's Molly, Fergus' daughter. Fergus balks and makes a scene, but when he sees how important this is to Molly — and to the land — he relents and urges Conor to marry her.

Diana comes to Cathbad and warns Father that Longinus plans to kill Conor. Conor doesn't believe her, so he banishes Diana and Arn. Conor now fears that his presence endangers the Druids, but Father cautions him against fear of death: "From this life to the next," all things continue, Father counsels him. The wedding begins. Fergus leads Conor to the altar. Molly, beautiful in her wedding gown, walks down the aisle — but Father is missing. He is still in his chambers, packing away his belongings, as Longinus silently enters....

Catlin and Tully are ambushed by soldiers of Longinus' "new alliance." Catlin helps the wounded Tully into Cathbad, where a funeral is in progress. Fergus and Molly tell them that Conor found Father's body and has left to avenge the Druid King's death. In Diana's castle, Arn tells Longinus of Diana's betrayal; Longinus rewards the priest with death. Conor enters and attacks Longinus, but he cannot win against the man who cannot die. Longinus allows Conor to stab him, but the wound disappears. As Fergus pulls Conor away, Longinus and Conor swear vengeance upon each other.

Fergus and Conor return to Cathbad. Conor addresses the Druid novices, telling them to go out to the villages to carry on Father's dream, "from this life to the next." Meanwhile, in Alwyn's village, the newborn baby is touched by the spirit of Father, who then vanishes.

Episode 9
Tash
Unaired Episode

Catlin is continually haunted by nightmares of her childhood, when she and her sister Amalia were sold as slaves. Catlin escaped by scarring herself, but her sister was taken to serve a leper colony as its harlot. Later, during a "skull" ceremony meant to "bring light to the land," Catlin accidentally shatters a skull, releasing a shadow — the spirit of Amalia. That night Amalia's shadow sweeps over her.

The next morning, Catlin attacks Fergus. Her eyes glow and she has leprous sores on her face. The possessed Catlin thrashes and speaks in Amalia's voice. Her friends tie her down and realize that something went wrong during the ceremony. They shackle Catlin and put her in a cart for a trip to Galen's lair to cure her spiritual affliction.

At Galen's lair, the crew finds the shattered skull and learns Catlin has been possessed by a "tash" — an angry spirit that seeks vengeance. Amalia, speaking through Catlin, assures them that she will not rest until Catlin is dead. In a hidden vault, the heroes find more bones, as well as scrolls that might hold the cure — but no one can read the ancient symbols. Conor, desperate to save Catlin, makes a deal with Longinus. If Longinus deciphers the scrolls and helps free Catlin, Conor pledges to join Longinus' alliance.

The others wait outside Galen's lair while Longinus and Queen Diana try to free Catlin. But instead of trying to dispel Amalia, Longinus tries to make the vengeful spirit possess Diana. Meanwhile, Conor realizes that Amalia can't be driven out; she's merely an angry child who wants to be loved. Conor bursts into the chamber as Longinus directs the transference. Conor frees Diana and grabs Catlin. Tully and Fergus battle the sorceror. Longinus is imprisoned in a vault that is sealed by sliding an altar over it.

Conor helps Catlin make peace with Amalia, then Amalia's shadow vanishes. As the heroes depart, Longinus' hand claws up from beneath the altar in Galen's lair, pushing it aside.

Episode 10
Traps
Unaired Episode

Conor and his crew arrive on an island in search of Tully and Molly, who vanished here days ago. The island's inhabitants, the Maclares, had contacted Conor, eager to join the confederation. Fergus fears the worst; the Maclares are dangerous. Then the hereoes find Tully, unconscious and bleeding in a cage above them.

Catlin takes Tully back to their sanctuary. Conor and Fergus go forward to search for Molly. Conor stops Fergus in mid-step, then uses a branch to trigger a vicious trap in their path. As they crest a hill, they see a Roman encampment. Suddenly, they are ambushed and captured by a band of Maclares led by Megan, a childhood friend of Fergus.

In Megan's village, Conor and Fergus are toseed in a cell, where Molly is alive and well. She says the Maclares never intended to join Conor's alliance — they're in league with Longinus. The next morning they find their cell unlocked. Megan will let them leave if they can evade all her traps. Conor, Fergus and Molly leave the village. Megan follows them and is dismayed to find none of her traps have been triggered. In the forest, Molly tells Fergus and Conor they should hide, not run. They take refuge in a cave — after its traps have been triggered.

Later, Longinus and Queen Diana pass the cave and Conor overhears that their plan is for him to die on this island. The heroes brave the forest, but Conor falls into a trap pit. As Fergus and Molly try to help him, Megan and her soldiers push them in on top of Conor. Conor wakes to find an injured Fergus beside him, but Molly has disappeared. Looking around, Conor and Fergus see that a tunnel offers an exit from the bottom of the pit.

Far away in the tunnels, Molly meets Cormac, a hermit who knows all the traps on the island. He'll guide Molly and her friends out; all he wants in return are seeds to replenish his crops.

Conor and Fergus return to the forest; the injured Fergus tells Conor to find Molly. After Conor leaves, Catlin finds Fergus and helps him to the beach. But when they get there, they find their boat has been burned. They soon reunite with Conor, Molly and Cormac. Conor tells the others to build a raft, then he has Cormac lead him back through all the traps. Diana searches the forest with her soldiers; suddenly her soldiers fall victim to a trap — and she is captured by Conor.

Longinus and Megan follow a trail of triggered traps to a cave, where they find Diana holding a rope that prevents a trap from killing her. Conor stands to one side, ready to cut the rope unless Longinus leaves the island empty-handed. Cormac shows himself and tells Megan — his wife! — that she can stop dealing in traps because he now has enough seeds to replenish the crops. Megan calls off her deal with Longinus, who leaves Diana at the mercy of the trap. Conor spares Diana and returns to the beach, where he and his crew depart for their island on their new raft.

Episode 11
Daybreak
Unaired Episode

Conor meets with one of Longinus' defectors, who presents Conor with a box containing the remains of Conor's father, King Derek. Conor and Fergus journey to Derek's birthplace, where they meet an old friend, Gweneth. Gweneth welcomes them back, but the rest of the village resents Conor's presence. The village council refuses to let Conor bury his father there. Gweneth's daughter, Edain, says the villagers believe that Derek and Fergus left the village out of cowardice, to flee the Romans.

Longinus enters the village. Conor sees his father's ring on Longinus' hand. The sorceror announces that the village has betrayed him by taking in Conor. At daybreak, he says, anyone still here will be destroyed with the village. Conor urges the villagers to fight back. He promises that reinforcements will come. His words fall on deaf ears.

As the villagers pack their carts, Conor and Fergus marshall a few farmers to weather the assault. The "defector" who gave Conor his father's remains rides into the village and commits suicide as a tribute to Longinus. Demoralized by the fanaticism of the sorcerer's troops, the entire village deserts Conor, who nonetheless chooses to stay and risk his life defending the village, in order to restore his family's honor.

Queen Diana, tired of Longinus' abuse, packs her belongings. With an entourage of servants, she departs for a nearby port to board a Rome-bound ship. At a certain point, however, all her servants desert her — Longinus gave them orders to go only so far. Diana drags one last, heavy crate by herself.

As night falls, Diana enters the village to find Conor and Fergus. She tells them Longinus has only 20 soldiers with him. Not entirely trusting her, they send her on her way, and finish the burial of King Derek. Afterward, the two men sneak into Longinus' camp and slay several of his soldiers. The remaining troops chase them back to the village. Conor and Fergus lure the soldiers into a trap; some of them escape and retreat.

At daybreak, Longinus' remaining soldiers attack — and are ambushed by Conor and Fergus. The battle is brief and ends with the two heroes surrounded by Longinus and a handful of soldiers. Then Gweneth and Edain attack Longinus' men. In the melee, Conor chops off Longinus' hand and takes back his father's ring.

Conor allows one soldier to escape, to spread the story of Conor's victory. Later, the villagers return and help Conor to complete the burial of his father. Nearby, Longinus rests as his hand regrows. Out on a cliff, Diana sees the ship she missed, and in a moment of self-liberation, hurls her remaining belongings to the wind.

Episode 12
The Cage
Unaired Episode

Against his will, Fergus accompanies Conor to the village of his ex-wife, Agrona, where he has promised to build a meeting house for the Confederation of Tribes. Agrona is thrilled to see her daughter, Molly, but her feelings are harsher when it comes to Fergus — especially when Fergus meets her new husband, Dunn, who is the leader of the village. Adding to Fergus' boiling anger are Conor's obvious romantic feelings for Molly.

Meanwhile, Queen Diana receives word that a Roman emissary will be arriving shortly; Rome has heard that Longinus has usurped her reign and that Conor's power has grown. Diana convinces Longinus that she must appear to be in power and Conor must be destroyed. She shows him a cage, in which she intends to capture Conor. Longinus calls it a hopeless plan, and even traps her in the cage as she tests it. Longinus releases her when Dunn arrives to tell them that the key to capturing Conor is Molly.

Dunn arranges a tryst for Conor and Molly — and also arranges for Fergus to catch the lovers. The two meet that night. Fergus barrels in, blades flash — and Fergus hits the ground, his own dagger in his heart. At the funeral the next day, Molly vows to never again speak the name of the absent Conor — who is actually nearby, with Fergus. The men explain to Catlin that they are aware of Dunn's treachery; the fight was a ruse to make Dunn report to Longinus that Fergus is dead.

Dunn, meanwhile, takes Molly to Diana's castle. He arranges for Molly to be used as bait to bring Conor to Longinus; in return he will get passage on a ship to any destination he desires. Molly returns to her mother's village, where Conor meets her — and Longinus' troops appear. But the moment the soldiers show themselves, they are killed in a trap set by the villagers, and Molly and Conor are unscathed.

The day the emissary arrives, Longinus' "soldiers" — actually the villagers in the dead soldiers' uniforms — escort Conor to Diana's castle, where the elated queen shows off her capture to Longinus. Longinus, though, plans to take credit for the capture. As he ushers Conor toward the cage, however, the faux soldiers attack Longinus, impaling him and flinging him into the cage.

Dunn arrives to warn Diana of Conor's plan. She promptly stabs Dunn, who realizes he's been duped. The Emissary enters to see Longinus in the cage, Diana in control—... and the dead body, whom Diana says is Conor. As Diana and the Emissary leave for a feast, Conor confesses to Catlin that the entire plan was Diana's — then he cuts the rope holding Longinus' cage, which plummets into the ocean and sinks to the bottom. The sorcerer cannot die, however, and is doomed to remain imprisoned underwater.

Episode 13
Sweet Bridget
Unaired Episode

While heading to Queen Diana's castle for an inter-tribal meeting, Conor and Fergus see a magician, Malachy, trapped in a ravine. They help him out, only to become trapped in the ravine themselves. Heeding Malachy's advice to "kiss the clay," Conor kisses a tower of clay. He and Fergus are blasted out of the ravine, and a beautiful naked girl appears beside them. The heroes don't understand where she came from, but they throw a blanket around the silent girl — whom they name Bridget — and take her with them to Diana's fortress.

There, Diana faces the angry tribes. One gruff leader, Colm, blames Diana for the murder of his young wife. Conor and Fergus arrive with Bridget, who won't leave Conor's side. Upon seeing the beautiful Bridget, Colm demands to have her; if he is denied, he says, he will declare war. He gives Diana one day and night to comply. Diana and Conor argue; Diana doesn't want to risk war, but Conor refuses to give in to Colm's demand. Diana instructs her soldiers to get the girl and to kill Conor if necessary.

Conor and Fergus build a camp nearby. Molly sees Bridget's fascination with fire and theorizes that the girl is a sprite; sprites created fire, but it was stolen by a man who cut out their tongues. That night, Conor must teach Bridget to sleep by closing her eyes. As they sleep, one of Diana's guards sneaks into the camp. Fergus and Conor catch him and send him back, then they leave for the ravine. At the ravine, they find runestones inscribed with the symbol of fire. Conor guesses they will find Malachy at Fire Mountain. Diana's soldiers attack the group. Bridget's hand is cut and bleeds fire. Panicked, the soldiers flee, and so does Bridget.

In the tunnels beneath Fire Mountain, Conor, Fergus and Molly encounter Malachy's warrior-goddesses — all as beautiful as Bridget, all as mute. The crazed magician takes the group to the "core," a great fire pit from whence all the sprites are born. Malachy insists the trio find the missing Bridget and return her to the core. The group returns to the surface to see the forest ablaze. Realizing Bridget's "bleeding" hand is leaving this trail, they search the inferno. Elsewhere in the burning forest, Diana captures Bridget.

Diana takes the girl back to her fortress. There, Molly sneaks in and takes Bridget's place. Molly and Fergus defeat Colm and return with Bridget and Conor to Fire Mountain. Conor takes Bridget back to the core. Bridget steps into the fire. She makes Conor close his eyes; when he opens them, she has vanished into the flames.
