In a fishing village in South Ulfland, a fisherman catches a flounder and discovers a green pearl inside.
In Lyonesse, King Casmir plots to destabilize South Ulfland by sending two agents, Sir Shalles and Torqual.
In South Ulfland, Aillas sees a party of Ska approaching Sank on horseback, including the Lady Tatzel.
Aillas and Shimrod are prevented from following Glyneth through the portal into Tanjecterly by Murgen, who understands that this is part of a plot by Casmir and Tamurello to get rid of them.
Tamurello chants a spell and turns into a weasel, pursues the snake into its hole and returns triumphantly with the pearl in his teeth.
Shimrod and Glyneth return to Earth where she is reunited with Aillas, now the undisputed King of Troicinet, Dascinet and Ulfland, who reveals his deep love for her and asks her to be his Queen, which she gladly accepts.
