It manages to abduct Satyricus before being driven away, but Arak uses his new-found shaman powers to locate the rock where the ghul resides. As the ghul is destroyed, she recognizes Arak's heritage and rages against the Serpent for not warning her.

Colorist(s): Adrienne Roy
Letterer(s): David Cody Weiss [as Cody]
Subject Matter
Genres: fantasy
Feature(s): Arak, Son of Thunder
Character(s): Arak [Bright-Sky-After-Storm]
Synopsis: A young Arak is dared by a friend to claim the paw of Yaogah, the great northwind bear, to prove that he really is He-No's son. A bold, but foolish, Arak angrily accepts the challenge and makes his way to the bear's cave. He is immediately put in mortal danger from the terrible creature. But, Yaogah recognizes Arak's divine lineage and declares that Arak must learn that constantly trying to prove one's courage is the act of one consumed by self-doubt. When Arak returns to his village, he refrains from boasting of his experience, and admits he failed in his quest.
