Story

Mantra and a Gwendorian force meet up with a group of men from Neros to seek out Boneyard and Archimage. Along the way, they encounter a group of men and women who live together in "cohabitation," which is against the edicts and morals of the two cultures. Mantra convinces the soldiers to let the cohabitators go in peace, although she must expend some magic to stop a trigger-happy Nerosian. Shortly afterwards, Boneyard's Wives track Mantra down and attack them with a band of demons. One of the Wives is killed, but a surviving Wife seemingly destroys Topaz. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Kismet Deadly takes the form of Eden Blake in order to take over Mantra's life.
