While [[Nula]] watches the flaming village, the captured [[Kaza (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Kaza]] asks [[the Skull (Reality Z-25 31-H)|the Skull]] what could be so valuable about [[Solomon's Diamond]] as to be worth bringing a whole private army of mercenaries to secure it, prompting the Skull to gloat that it is far more than an ordinary jewel. Refusing to elaborate, he makes Kaza and [[Gwenna (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Gwenna]] climb into his tank, with Kaza in the hold and Gwenna in the cabin with him.

Meanwhile, [[George Wimberley]] and [[Kiana]] are leading a group of survivors from the fire to the nearby [[Koravi village]]; they cross paths with Nula, and inform her that [[Commissioner Smedley|Smedley]] has been captured. | ||
She, meanwhile, confesses that she knew the Skull's thugs were after the diamond, but hoped that she had “lost them in [[Istanbul]]”. She explains that according to legend, the Diamond is none other than the [[Philosopher's Stone]]. In the tank, as they near the Skull's stronghold (the “old [[Kaitaran Temple]]”), a gloating Skull gives the same explanation to Gwenna, who mocks him for believing that his “superior-humans cult” can hold on to it any better than the likes of Alexander the Great and Caesar. At that moment, Kaza manages to free himself from his bond and get the drop on the undisciplined mercenaries watch him, knocking both out. Hearing the commotion and assuming it must be Kaza freeing himself, Gwenna similarly lands a good kick on the Skull and knocks him out. Together, they manage to put the entire tank crew out of commission; they hop out as it crashes into a tree, with Gwenna catching Kaza up on what she's learned. | She, meanwhile, confesses that she knew the Skull's thugs were after the diamond, but hoped that she had “lost them in [[Istanbul]]”.
