Ganishka lumbers on toward Griffith, crushing and burning his own Kushan soldiers while Daiba begs him to stop. The mad giant no longer knows his own name or that he is slaughtering his people, until a distant point of light resolves into the winged Griffith and reawakens his purpose.
Summary
Grinding forward toward Griffith, Ganishka crushes everything beneath him. Daiba swoops in on the Garuda beside the emperor's face and pleads with him to stop butchering their own soldiers, but Ganishka registers the sorcerer as nothing more than an insect. Trying to swat the nuisance aside, he exhales fire from his countless mouths. Daiba escapes the blast, yet the huge fireballs crash to earth and scorch wide stretches of land along with the Kushan troops below, and the sorcerer grasps that his emperor is no longer the man he once was.
Key Events
Ganishka has no comprehension of what the extra power he received has done to him. He casts about for Daiba and his army, blind to the fact that he has just struck the one and nearly annihilated the other, and even his own name has slipped from his memory as his rampage rolls on.
Because his head rises into the dark clouds, his sight is swallowed by gloom, and he cries out for anyone at all to find him. Then a speck of light in the distance swells until he can make out its source: Griffith on horseback, spread with two great white wings. The vision jolts his final aim back into focus, and he sets off deliberately toward the White Falcon.
