But, before Arak can present his petition, an escaping Valda bursts into the room and Constantine, impressed by her fire, announces she will be his bride! To defuse the situation, Arak claims Valda as his own. The ruler states that he will acquiesce if Arak can simply swim across an ornate pool. Arak agrees, but soon finds that the emperor's vizier is a sorcerer, and Arak has to battle an aquatic beast before winning through to the other side.
