After Doli revealed that Hen Wen, the pig, had arrived among the Fair Folk, to Taran's great joy, the King asked his lieutenant to go get him. He asks humans what is happening on the surface. Taran reveals the intentions of the Horned King, that if he gets his hands on the black Cauldron, everyone will be condemned. The King reassures the humans that the Cauldron is well guarded by the Witches of Morva, so Taran decides to go there to destroy the Cauldron so that the Horned King cannot use it.
