While Pellinore's wife, Elizabeth had become a new neighbor with her friend Julianna after their former home was destroyed by barbarian raids a year ago.

In Camelot, Arthur spends time with his son Soren now nine yrs. old in the throne room and talks with him that someday that he'll be not only the next king but will carry on the ideals of Camelot. When Soren ask of Sir Lionel, Arthur simply answers that he was both a fellow knight and friend.

Elsewhere at the harbor, young woman named Ashe draped in a cloak has arrive at the port on boat after leaving from her home in the far east to start a new life. She stops by at a tavern for a drink where she spots several wanted posters, one with Ruber's mug along with 50 thousand gold bounty for his capture which sparks her interest then leaves. Another cloaked individual asks for directions for Camelot. As Ashe looks closure, the stranger is an elf then leaves the port in search for an Inn to rest.

That night Arthurs discuss the era of peace among the kingdom in ten years despite Lionel's death. Sir Dagonet's urgently reminding them that Ruber is still at large and possess a threat to the kingdom. But Arthur and the others assured that Ruber hasn't been seen or heard since that day but Dagonet denies it for he knows he's still out there. Their meeting is interrupted by a Manticore that flies to the courtyard attacking the palace guards. Pellinore, Lancelot, Dagonet, Ulric and the guards come out to fend off the beast. A Griffon breaks round table where Guinevere and Soren are corned by it. When Arthurs rushes to the aid of his family, the Griffin then attacks and injures Arthur then takes Excalibur. Gallahad and the knights come to Arthur's aid who tells Gwen to find Merlin. The two beasts fly away from the castle with the guards' and knights pursuing them. Merlin then commands his silver winged falcon Ayden to protect the sword. The Manticore and the Griffon fly over a wasteland when were suddenly attacked by Ayden who makes the Griffin drop Excalibur below in the forbidden wastelands. They attempted to recover the sword but the dunes of the wastelands are infested with blood thirsty Dune Lurkers.

The horn from the main gate sounds that notifies the lands far and wide that Excalibur has been stolen, which Ashe and the cloaked stranger, falling on the ears of Kayley, vowing to find the sword, but Juliana refuses to let her go after the sword, thinking over the loss of her husband and her daughter's safety. Elizabeth felt the same for her son Jayson who had left to be trained as a strider but hasn't heard from him for a while. Kayley was working around the chicken coup while Beatrice tries to cheer her up when they were cornered by someone behind them.

Much later, the village was attacked by brigands and barbarians and later barged in Julianna's home. They are led by a red knight which was revealed to be Ruber, accompanied by his new lieutenant, the brigand leader, Ryker. Ruber blackmails Juliana into helping him with their plan to rule Camelot by threatening to kill her daughter Kayley, Beatrice and all the children. During the ransacking of Lady Juliana's village, Ruber explains to her, Elizabeth and the villagers about the plan to take hold of their wagons to hide his followers and while Juliana sits upfront as the gates will open to gain access. Ruber than uses a dark potion given to by some witches, they then demonstrate it by using a chicken and axe, he pours a few drops of the potion in a dug up pool and throws a chicken and the axe into the steep, becoming Bladebeak. With Morgana's incantation, Ruber's henchmen line up to get themselves turned into ironmen, with Ryker being the first to change. Both Kayley and Beatrice are inadvertently free and sneak into opening behind them while the barbarians are distracted, and Juliana quickly whispers her daughter to go to Camelot and warn Arthur, but she refuses to leave her and Elizabeth behind. Juliana then tells her that Ruber would be in Camelot in three days when Elizabeth points out that the bridge leads to the main road and instructs Kayley that once she crosses it, she must set it on fire. With the bridge gone, it will delay Ruber's army to take the longer route to travel within five days to reach the kingdom and tells her to take Beatrice along. With his army transformed, they make way to the wagons as Ruber announces their journey to Camelot.

Ruber then meets up with the returning Griffin and Manticore, not knowing that Kayley and Beatrice are eavesdropping before making their escape. Ruber angrily abuses the Griffin upon learning that he lost Excalibur while Manticore noted that his role was to distract the knights as hard part and along the way as carrying the sword was Griffin's part. The Griffin explains that they were attacked by a falcon and the sword's current whereabouts are in the Forbidden Wastelands. Kayley grabs her horse then she and Beatrice sets out to the Forbidden Wastelands only to be noticed Ruber and Morgana and Ryker sends the mace thug, brute thug, crossbow thug and Bladebeak chase after them while in the meantime, Ruber demands the Griffin to him, Ryker, Manticore and few minions to recover Excalibur. Kayley and Beatrice make it to the bridge then destroys the bridge by setting it on fire using their torch then ride off to the Forbidden Forest while being chased by Ruber's henchmen ("Prayer").

Kayley and Beatrice go into the forest after the horse leaves, but Ruber's henchmen go after them on foot after their boars were exhausted. Bladebeak loses control of his boar sending the mutant bird flying. His axe bill smashes right on the arm of the brute minion. Bladebeak said, "Hey, we're not going anywhere, are we?" The minion then responded, "Chicken!" Bladebeak waves nervously and tells him he has a wife and two eggs at home. The minion then removed Bladebeak off of him as the three go after Kayley. Meanwhile Ruber and Ryker see the smoke from the distance knowing that is where the bridge was. Much to Ruber's anger and frustration, Ryker states that they'll have to long way now to reach Camelot in five days but necessary to recover the sword by then.

Kayley and Beatrice make their through the woods with Ruber's henchmen give chase then the two reached a cliff and fell into a watering hole and caught in a net belonging to Jayson. The minions catch up to them and were defeated by Jayson and his traps temporarily with Ayden's help. Kayley and Beatrice free them selves from the fishnet that Jayson has taken six weeks to make. Kayley soon recognizes him from their childhood. Jayson has changed for the past ten years of time and why he became a strider to be a lone wolf with Ayden. He soon learns of Excalibur's theft and decides to after it alone "I Stand Alone." Kayley notices that Beatrice's knee hurt from earlier then Jayson knows a friend who can help and tells them to follow him. They are unaware that someone else is following them from the canopy

In another part of the forest, Ruber, Ryker, a slim minion, the Manticore following the Griffin making Ruber increasingly annoyed and impatient with his pet thinking their going in circles much to Morgana unimpressed ire. Bladebeak, who had just secretly followed Kayley, Beatrice and Jayson earlier, returns and reports to Ruber about Kayley joining Jayson and Ayden to find Excalibur. Upon hearing it, Ruber and his men plan to follow them, hoping they will lead them to the sword. Manticote goes on ahead to seek them out along with the Griffin.

Jayson, Kayley, Beatrice and Ayden go to a cottage in the middle of the forest with smoking seeping out the windows. As they rushed inside, Jayson introduced his friend Cid who is alchemist that was conducting a magic experiment until it resulted in a minor explosion. After bandaging Beatrice's knee, Kayley and Jayson explained to him that they're searching for Excalibur much to Cid's surprise who had heard rumors until it happened to be true when he notices Aiden, knowing it belonged to his idol Merlin. He then explains his dream on becoming an apprentice to Merlin for he has been teaching himself magic for years. Then announces that he will be joining them and starts to pack up all his potions, books, scrolls, tools and essentials inside an enchanted bottomless bag, now a backpack. Explains that to get to the Wastelands, they'll have to leave the forest first,.
