Synopsis:
During the age of Camelot, King Arthur Pendragon is leaving to be reborn. Madame Xanadu declines to go with him. Merlin merges the demon Etrigan with Jason Blood. Four hundred years later, the two are traveling together. They come to a tavern in a small town and decide to stop for a drink. The town where they stopped is in the path of the Outriders of the Questing Queen's Horde, a force trying to take over the land. The Questing Queen is joined by Mordru, the immortal wizard. While at the tavern, they meet Vandal Savage, a barbarian immortal who is also looking for a drink. While drinking, they are observed by a person introduced as the Shining Knight. Another traveler, calling himself Al Jabr, and a warrior amazon named Exoristos, are there as well and begin to cause a ruckus. Suddenly, the Queen's Horde attacks and declares the tavern the property of the Queen. Jason unleashes the demon Etrigan and a battle erupts. Mordru, however, senses the magic being unleashed and sends his own magic against it in the form of a dragon.
