He then uses his magic to find a way into the castle. The group searches for her, but are only able to locate her with help from Akiro's magic. The next morning, Akiro is the first to awaken and notice her absence. Thoth-Amon knows Jehnna alone can touch the gem, so, under cover of night, he turns himself into a mighty phoenix and snatches Jehnna, taking her to the castle. Although Jehnna wants to continue, Conan decides to rest for the night. As the group comes near, the castle is mysteriously surrounded by a lake. Conan then magnanimously allows her to ride with them over the mountains to the castle of Thoth-amon.ДЇrom within the castle, the magician Thoth-Amon has been watching their journey to his castle using the magic gem. She takes umbrage at this and the two scuffle for a bit before Conan pulls them apart. She catches up to Conan's party but Bombaata tries to send her away. After the villagers are pummelled for a bit, they allow her to escape on horseback, screaming like a banshee. Jehnna orders Conan to help her, so Conan cuts Zula loose, who begins fighting back.

Later, when the group reaches a village, they find the peasants torturing an accused thief, a female warrior named Zula. Conan saves him with some judicious head chopping, and he joins the group.

First they meet the magician Akiro, who is about to be chargrilled by cannibals. They soon find two more partners to help them in their journey. Conan, Malak, Jehnna and Bombaata set out on their quest. In addition, she secretly orders Bombaata and a group of elite guards to kill Conan after he retrieves the key. After some brief conversation in her palace she sets Conan two tasks: capture a key gem which can only be touched by her niece Princess Jehnna and get the magic horn from a wizard to awaken the dreaming god Dagoth.
