Synopsis
Morrigan attempts to feed off the life energy of a human, but she is stopped by the dark hunter, Donovan Baine. The two fight, but Morrigan eventually retreats. Meanwhile, Felicia and Harry fly to England, as Harry has found out that the ring of the black dragon is on display in the British museum. It looks exactly like a the drawing of ring in a book Elijah Grimoire wrote, and Felicia hopes the ring will help Harry master his powers. Morrigan decides she needs a magical boost, and recalls the ring of blood is in the British museum.
Felicia and Harry enter the museum and find the ring, but Felicia says they won't just let Harry take it. They sneak in later, only to find Morrigan. Morrigan manages to get the ring she was after, but needs the blood of a Darkstalker to use its power. She captures the defeated Felicia, and leaves.
Donovan shows up, having tracking Morrigan down with his spell sword. He creates a portal and goes through it to follow Morrigan, but Harry follows him. Donovan arrives at Glastonbury Tor, just in time to stop Morrigan from killing Felicia. The two start fighting, and when Morrigan gets knocked down, Felicia is released. Morrigan notices a cut on her finger, and places the ring on her wound. This activates the ring, and summons the spirit of Morgan le Fay. When Morgan finds out that Merlin, her enemy, has been dead for centuries, she gives her power to Morrigan. Donovan and Felicia try to attack, but are both easily beaten down.
Harry says he won't let Morrigan hurt them, and then, the spirit of Merlin appears. Merlin tells Harry that the ring of the black dragon has no power, the power is within himself. He then tells them to behold, and shoots an energy blast at Morgan, destroying her. Morrigan collapses, and the ring of blood vanishes off of her finger. Merlin tells Harry to never stray from the path of truth, and his power will never fail him. He tells him farewell, and vanishes.
Morrigan tries to convince Harry to join up her with, but he refuses. Donovan and Felicia confront her, so she swallows her pride and begs Demitri for help. Demitri has her beamed up to Pyron's ship. Donovan says the night isn't over yet, as he still considers Felicia, a Darkstalker, an enemy. Harry says he's telling him this for the last time: Felicia is his friend. Donovan tells him that he'll respect his wishes, but says he can't promise it'll be the same when they meet again. He then creates a portal beneath himself, and sinks through it. Meanwhile, on the ship, Morrigan tells Demitri about Harry, Merlin and Donovan. Demitri asks if she's sure about Donovan, so she asks him if he's afraid of a mere human wizard. Demitri turns around and sheepishly says he fears no one.
