Synopsis: Arak and Valda arrive in Rome, hoping their letter from the Frankish king will enable them to meet with Pope Hadrian and inquire about the whereabouts of White Cathay. During their visit, Arak saves an old Jew from a Christian mob, later learning he's the Wandering Jew of legend. The Pope has no real information on White Cathay, but he asks the two warriors to guard him while on a procession through the city. But, during the procession, an earthquake opens the ground and a huge arm grabs the pontiff and drags him underground. Arak follows and finds himself in the realm of the Black Pope.
