The peaceful life in Yemen is disrupted when Malti, now old and frail, stumbles into the palace courtyard. She collapses at Hatim’s feet and, with her last breath, tells him the story of Princess Sunena and the Fire Demons. She hands him the mystical box.
You have the wisdom, Hatim. But wisdom is a seed. It must be planted in the soil of action. To break the curse, you must journey to the Seven Gardens of Mystery. You must solve seven riddles, face seven trials, and defeat the shadow that waits at the end of the world.
I do not chase the wind, Father. I chase life. If the cure lies beyond the Valley of Shadows or the peak of Mount Qaf, I shall bring it back.
The episode introduces Hatim Tai as a charming and confident young man, who is loved and respected by his tribe. We also meet his family, including his mother, who is shown to be a wise and kind woman.
