Zandra is with a still unconscious Zardoz in her family's castillo. She again apologizes for having brought him back to Boazan, knowing he would not like it. When Zardoz wakes up, Zandra informs him of the impending collapse of Zambojil's empire and shows him scenes across the planet of alipin rebels laying waste to their previously horn-controlled lands. And it is all thanks to the arrival of the Erthuians.
