The Horned King knew the spell to work the Cauldron, and once he used it, he unleashed a terrible army of invincible undead soldiers! Taran and his friends tried to fight the soldiers, but it did no good. Not even the princess's magic amulet could help fend them off. It looked like it was the end for the friends... But then, out of the shadows, came Gurgi! He knew the sacrifice that had to be made to save his friends, and so, without another moment's hesitation, he jumped into the cauldron, sacrificing himself. The cauldron began to suck the dead soldiers back inside, and Taran shoved the Horned King into the cauldron with them, sealing him up for all eternity.
