Sofy uses the power of her staff to overpower the approaching knights, but it is unable to stop Roland and they fight. Sofy holds her own and, once Elen and Tigre are safely away, uses her staff's power to disappear. The Navarre knights stop their pursuit when reinforcements led by Mashas arrive. Roland remembers how he was prevented from meeting with King Faron by Dukes Ganelon and Thenardier. In the camp, Mashas tells his allies that he was also unable to meet with the king, but that his friend, Prime Minister Badowin, told him that the king's mental health is precarious and the Dukes are using this to do as they please. With Tigre still unconscious Elen promises to win the battle and Sofy volunteers to help her. Roland's companion tells him that Tigre turned traitor in order to protect Alsace from Thenardier which fuels Roland's doubts. Tigre awakens and guided by the Black Bow and accompanied by Titta finds his way to a mysterious temple belonging to the goddess of darkness, night and death, Tir na Fa. The goddess possesses Titta and tests Tigre's resolve and desire for power by making him shoot Titta. Tigre controls his power enough that the arrow doesn't harm Titta and the temple disappears. The Silver Meteor Storm halts the Navarre knights advance by diverting the local river and turning the battle plain into a bog, making the knights easy targets for their archers. Elen draws Roland away from his main force, but the black knight easily withstands Elen's full power. Tigre arrives at the battlefield and confronts Roland despite reopening his wounds. Elen and Sofy support him and Tigre shoots with the combined power of all three. While Roland survives, he finds himself unable to move and accepts his defeat. With half of the Navarre knights dead and their commander defeated, the battle comes to an end.
