Knight Shade tells his story of how he was a failing singer from Grey vale that used to be called Bright Valley. Arabus promised to make him a star, they held a smash hit concert where Arabus and Zeb stole everyone’s shadow including Knight Shades mothers. He refused to do any more but Arabus threaten to take Knight Shade’s shadow too, as the shadows increased his magic powers, Knight Shade didn’t want this to happen as he was hoping to save the Grey vale himself. Baby Heart Throb begs that they let him go and they do. They decide to fight Arabus themselves and get Knight Shade to show them the way. Reaching Grey vale the horses with the missing shadows that live there, recognize Knight Shade and tell him he’ll be sorry for coming back.
