Maddened by ill-fitting armour and slothful courtiers, Wicked Queen Soren of Tarn leaves the Isles of Tenebris for NEW SHORES...

A journey long foretold by her magic mirror...

Samhain, the winter solstice when the powers of darkness are at their HEIGHT, finds her traversing silent, lonely Knottwood Forest... Voices catch her attention. She scans the horizon like a hunting hawk...

...quickly locating the SOURCE... Gwen has had to put up with WEEKS of whining while searching the thick woods for the road HOME... A wicked queen can NEVER resist more power... Just in TIME, Gwen turns and SEES the danger... Steel rings on steel, ravaging the forest silence! For a breathtaking second, it looks as if GWEN has gained the UPPER HAND... Oh NO!  Gwen's SWORD has snapped! Is this the END for the hapless Gwen? Will she ever get back to Avalon again?

Thanks, ummm, to ASUKA MORIYAMA, for, uh, lending Queen Soren her katana.
