FARIN
is appointed by both sides to end the war.
With him are LIAM, who one day hopes to
be a peacekeeper and JESS, a servant. Peace
talks are taking place in Golgoroth, stronghold
of the Malis.
FARIN is very intolerant of LIAM.
On
the day of the peace talks, the MALI KING
enters the chamber, helped by his son TARUS.
There is an uproar from the Malis who see
it as an insult and sacrilege that a woman,
CARA, has been chosen as Dujane spokesperson.
There is shouting and fist

between the two sides, particularly from
rivals IXUS and DRUDA.
CALAN,
a young autistic son of the Malis king,
enters the chamber as the council is in
uproar. The Mali king declares peace with
the Dujane. The two sides agree to surrender
the thing most valuable to them within seven
days.
Back in Dujane, FARIN and the boys are ready
to take the Dujane offering of gold to the
Malis when they see TARUS and CALAN riding
in on a horse. TARUS explains that the Mali’s
offering is the Mali king’s son, CALAN.
DRUDA is offended by the offering and tells
the guards to imprison TARUS and CALAN.

The
two sides once more look destined for war
but LIAM has a plan.
CARA
slips something into the drink of the GAOLER
and releases TARUS. JESS and LIAM ride with
TARUS to Golgoroth.
In response to a letter, the leaders of
both sides meet at the Battlefield where
there are gathered all the children from
both Mali and Dujane. CARA explains to her
father that his gold was an insufficient
present and that the Mali king had given
up his most
precious
possession, his son.
LIAM
explains that he has brought the children
here to be killed now as this is what will
eventually happen if the war starts again.
The leaders decide on peace and FARIN is
proud of LIAM.
Peace reigns between the two sides and JESS
is invited back for the wedding between
CARA and TARUS.
