Hawk discovers Ranulf with the help of a local sorceress, a woman whom he defended from an accusation of witchcraft. The High Abbot sends Ranulf to find someone who might help. Voltan appears at the convent and kidnaps the Abbess, demanding a large sum of gold as a ransom. The nuns nurse him back to health, but his hand cannot be saved. Ranulf was seriously injured in the attack. Ranulf tells the nuns that he survived Voltan's attack on his people, which resulted in the brutal deaths of women and children. Some time later, a man named Ranulf arrives at a remote convent. Voltan's evil touches the whole countryside. Hawk then vows to avenge his father by killing Voltan. The sword is now imbued with magical powers and can respond to Hawk's mental commands. The hand comes to life and grasps the mindstone. Before the old man dies, he bequeaths a great sword with a pommel shaped like a human hand to his other son, Hawk. The wicked Voltan kills his own father when the latter refuses to turn over the magic of the "last elven mindstone".
