Episode 3: The Key
After several misadventures with the Guardians of the Veil, Caleb returns to Meridian, where he is intercepted by Aldarn and informed that he is being hunted by Meridian soldiers. Caleb tells Aldarn that he has been to Earth, and describes it to an amazed Aldarn. The two then begin plotting how to sneak into the castle in order to return a stolen key and help their friend Vathek; While the comrades are talking, they run into (literally) the Guardians, who tumble onto the ground. Aldarn helps Cornelia to her feet and tries to flirt with her in his cut-but-lame "Earth Speak," which leaves Cornelia flabbergasted, to say the least. After a run-in with one of Phobos' soldiers, Aldarn helps Caleb and the Guardians sneak into the castle by disguising himself as a stablehand with a load of hay for Phobos' horses—Caleb and the girls are hidden inside.
