"The Power of the Wise"

Leoric and ther others are out looking for roots and herbs for Merklynn and in the process realise they all have a deep fear of Darkstorm's power of Decay. Seeking some form of protection against it Arzon consults the Bearer of Knowledge, who tells them of the Eternal Spring which can restore youth.

The Spectral Knights set out for Shadow Mountain where the Eternal Spring is located, but Reekon has overheard and informs Darkstorm.

He lays an ambush for his nemisis and uses his power of Decay, accellerating Leoric's body to the age of a weak old man. The Darkling Lords then set off to reach the Eternal Spring before the Spectral Knights. Along the way Cravex uses his power of Fear on a giant centipede, causing it to attack the Spectral Knights.

In his Lion totem form, Leoric is able to save his fellows by distracting it, but the Darkling Lords have succeeded in slowing them down. The Spectral Knights arrive to find Cindarr's power of Destruction has completely destroyed the spring. Leoric and Feryl wait outside a cave, while the others explore hoping to find the spring's source.

While Ectar goes on ahead, the Spectral Knights are ambushed and taken prisoner. Leoric realizes that his only hope is for Darkstorm to undo his spell. Leoric hides near the Dagger Assault, and Feryl jumps Darkstorm upon his return with the captured knights.

Darkstorm is forced to restore Leoric, or lose his animal totem in the Dagger Assault's magical dungeon. Ectar arrives with a pouch of Eternal Spring water that he found in the cave, only to find Leoric already restored.

Leoric explains that although his body was old and weak, he has learned the value of wisdom.
