However, they find themselves in opposition to Arak, Valda, and Malagigi, who feel duty-bound to protect the ruler. At the end, the various beasts are dead and it looks like Arak will have to fight an enraged Alsind, but Sharizad announces she has joined the Caliph's harem and asks, piercingly, if Alsind will kill her, too. Defeated, Alsind drops his weapons and they all begin searching for the villainous Barmak. But, the basilisk found him first...

Synopsis: Alsind is near death, but Arak manages to use his shaman magic to cure the boy. But, a recovered Alsind then attacks the Caliph, naming him a usurper. In a rage, Harun orders that a game of shatranj (a variant of chess) be played...with living pieces! On one side, played by Sharizad, Arak stands with his friends. On the other side, the Caliph's guardsmen. Sharizad manages to defeat Harun (after a few savage battles by her "pieces") and agrees to marry him. Alsind now realizes that he will never be Caliph, and he volunteers to accompany Arak on the quest for Arak's homeland.
