Three wide comic panels show a scene where a bulky, red-headed man faces two young people, his back to the viewer. Between him and the youths is a tree stump with a sword placed in it, like the sword in the stone.

In the first panel, the red-headed man says, “What a surprise to see the little pirate here at Shippu Kass…” The two youths are ready to fight. The genderqueer blonde is ready to draw their sword. The brunette young man has his fists wrapped and raised for boxing.

Panel 2, we zoom in medium close-up on the youths. The brunette, Thomas, whispers, “’Little Pirate’?”

The blonde, Jamie, whispers back, “He doesn’t know my name. Or yours, either. Keep it that way.”

In panel 3, the bulky man takes a step towards the stump with the sword. We can see the bulky man’s hand form a fist. Something supernatural and black covers his fist. Jamie draws their sword and aims it at the bulky man, shouting, “STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE, RANKI!”
