Synopsis

Elric's quest to avenge himself on a certain sorcerer begins in earnest. An attack by flying shape-shifter demons finds Elric and companion airborne heading, as prisoners, to meet the very sorcerer they search for. While still in flight Elric calls upon avian aide and summons the birds of the air to rescue them from the demons clutches. A lone castle stands in the wastes while it's mistress lies in sorceress slumber. In a dream, the sorceress Myshella tells Elric of a common enemy and his plans for world domination. An alliance entered, Elric seeks out Myshella's treasure and with the aid of a flying mechanical steed he defeats the demon guardian and returns with a cloth of gold containing an evil ally. The castle under siege and with sorceress aide, a breech is made. Elric fights to clear away the castles invaders. Amidst a pile of fallen enemies, Elric is taken prisoner. Bound before his foe Elric summons his sword to free himself . Myshella awakened, circles the army surrounding her castle and unleashes the "Noose of Flesh". While Elric and Myshella watch, the "Noose of Flesh" goes about its grisly business. The grateful Myshella offers Elric a reward of peace for his service rendered, much to his soul's and mind's dismay.
