The Rift: Part 2

**"The Rift: Part 2"** is the tenth and last episode of the first season of *Centaurworld*.

## Official Synopsis

*Horse and Rider face a frightening enemy. Back in Centaurworld, the herd summons up the courage to enter the void and fight for their friend.*

## Plot

Picking up where the last episode left off, Horse & Rider are trapped in the rift with the Nowhere King. Meanwhile, the Woman tells the Herd that she cannot allow them to use the key as keeping the rift shut is the only thing protecting Centaurworld from the Nowhere King, and that this matter is bigger than all of them. She easily overpowers the herd and Waterbaby before leaving, presumably with the key.

Wammawink is distraught and out of grief, snaps at Glendale for always stealing useless things when she attempts to comfort her by draping someone's jacket over her, which she doesn't need as she has wool. This causes Glendale to start pulling "useful" things out of her portal, including the key which she stole during the song. The two make up and Wammawink & Waterbaby open the door to the rift in time to save Horse & Rider from the Nowhere King, who attacked them for locking themselves in the rift with him without bringing the key.

The herd fights against the Nowhere King and holds him off for a time, before Wammawink & Waterbaby both use their shield spells to block the exits, when Waterbaby's shield begins to crack, the herd goes to fight again, and draw the Nowhere King away from her. Meanwhile, the Woman has realised the key is gone and returned to the rift to retrieve it when Wammawink comes flying out of the portal and asks that she leave it open long enough to return to her friends.

The Woman points out that she'll be trapped if she does, but Wammawink counters that whether she is trapped or not depends on the Woman's actions and walks through the portal where she finds the others have been captured by the Nowhere King, who captures Wammawink as well and prepares to kill everyone. However, the Woman steps in and uses her magic to transform the key into a spear, the Nowhere King recognises her and hints at their shared history, but accepts his fate, which causes the Woman to hesitate. Horse and Rider then take the spear and use a maneuver they used in the past to impale the Nowhere King who appears to be destroyed.

The worlds are connected once again and the magical shockwave sends everyone into Centaurworld, which Rider experiences for the first time, and which she finds both awe inspiring and bizarre; doubly so when Glendale's portal suddenly spits out the fallen minotaur soldier she'd absorbed during the fight, which Durpleton adopts.

While everyone is celebrating their escape and the worlds being reconnected, the Woman reappears and warns them that the Nowhere King has not been defeated and will return more powerful than before intent on destroying both worlds. Horse prepares to leave with Rider, but realises the only way to protect both worlds is if both have an army and that she needs to stay behind to help teach the centaurs to fight, Rider agrees and the two of them share a moment before temporarily parting. Waterbaby chooses to go to the Humanworld with Rider, while Horse stays with the herd (including the surprisingly alive minotaur) to create an army, elsewhere the Nowhere King has retreated to a castle in the human world where he pulls the key from himself and uses it to strike a mural depicting centaurs and humans together.
