Transcript
A town is seen covered in fog. A sign outside of it reveals it to be named Hornsberg. A group of people in the town hear laughter in the distance and close their doors. However, a young girl doesn't make it inside in time, tripping over and reaching for her father as the fog covers her. She hears the sound of hooves coming closer to her, turning around as a hoof steps just in front of her.

The person riding on the horse-like creature raises up a sword and gets ready to stab the girl but their sword is stopped by another sword which is revealed to be Nix's. The girl begins running once again as the man with the sword is decapitated by Rolf. However, the man doesn't drop dead, walking over and picking up his head before riding off on his horse. Rolf stares in terror as the fog clears. He turns and sees the young girl standing with her father. It cuts to the girl and her father's home where the father is making four cups of tea. A loud bell is heard ringing in the distance. The Dullahan is seen riding into the village before its fast charge turns into a slow stroll. It looks around as the slits in its iron mask begin glowing orange. It laughs maniacally. Nix is revealed to be staring out a window, looking at it. Rolf is cut off by a faint tapping noise. They all turn to the window, revealing that the Dullahan is knocking on the glass.

 * Rolf: We know. We're squires that work under King Desmond. We were sent here by him to investigate the disappearances.
 * Nix: Why haven't you fought back against it?
 * David: I've tried but none of my weapons work on it...
 * Rolf: Oh my.
 * Nix: What was that anyway?
 * David: It was a Dullahan.
 * Nix: What?
 * David: A headless horseman.
 * Nix: What does it do?
 * David: From what I understand it's the ghost of a knight that was decapitated in battle. Now it decapitates others in search for a head that can replace the one it lost...
 * Nix: Does a pumpkin count?
 * David: No.
 * Nix: Then I'm out of ideas. Sorry.
 * David: It's back...
 * Rolf: Already? How can you tell?
 * David: The bell rings when it's spotted.
 * Nix: What is that light in its helmet?
 * David: Fire...
 * Rolf: Well, if we're going to defeat this thing, we--
