1.2 On the Road Again

A nightmarish duo plot to tighten their hold over the Canyon. Samir meets a charismatic cowboy and a suspiciously fantastical creature.

Episode Summary
After his fall Samir finds himself in a fire lit cave in the presence of Baal, the Lord of Hell who holds power over the demonic legions in the Canyon, and Virgyl, his servant. The two don’t seem to notice Samir, and talk about the peculiar rainstorm, the political unrest in the Canyon, and the fact that a wild caravan was seen flying across the sky. Baal is worried this vision might give the inhabitants of the Canyon hope that they might one day be able to escape from it.

Virgil assures his master that this will not happen, as the only way to escape the Canyon is to use the Book of Hours, a magical book that cannot be opened by mortals.

After Baal exits the scene, Virgyl seems to notice Samir and cast him aside with a wave of his hand, causing him to wake.

Samir is woken up on a canyon trail by a very attractive man in a cowboy getup, who introduces himself as Argeaux. Because of his injury Samir can’t stand on his feet, so Argeaux carries him. After Samir tells him about the caravan he saw in the sky, Argeaux promises him that he will help him get out of the Canyon.

Together with Argeaux’s trusted steed, Betsy the unicorn, whom Samir describes as a really sad donkey, they set off in the direction of the caravan.

The episode ends when they are suddenly stopped in their tracks by a flurry of gunshots.
