The episode begins with a flashback to King Grey's past: An envoy is banished for crimes against him – a seemingly "merciful" act that nonetheless leads to the execution of the man's family by Grey himself.
In the present, Arthur is now 4 years old and trains with his father Reynolds, who is amazed at how quickly the boy channels mana into his wooden sword. Reynolds recognizes Arthur's extraordinary talent and suggests finding a teacher in the city of Xyrus. Arthur convinces his parents to move there together, marking the first visible sign of his growing affection for them.
The family sets out on the journey with "Twinhorns" – a group of former companions of Alice and Reynolds, including:
- Adam Krensch (scarred fighter),
- Angela Rose (healer),
- Helen Shard (archer),
- Jasmine Flamesworth (silent dagger wielder),
- Durden Walker (strategic leader).
Along the way, it is revealed that Alice is a rare "Emitter" mage with healing abilities – a reason for her secluded life. Arthur tests his skills against Adam but cannot defeat him and later receives a sword from Jasmine as a birthday gift.
On the mountain pass, they are ambushed by bandits. The Twinhorns fight in a coordinated manner, but the attackers' numbers force Reynolds to send Arthur and Alice fleeing – during which he reveals that Alice is pregnant. A mysterious blond mage on a cliff hurls Reynolds into the abyss with a wind spell. Arthur also falls, reflecting on his life and the meaning of empathy during the fall, seemingly facing certain death.
After the credits, Arthur awakens in the forest, unharmed, but encounters a massive, talking creature that greets him.
