Jor-El and Lara escape the destruction of their home planet Krypton, crash landing on an Earth that is stuck at a medieval level of technology and culture. A band of mounted archers ride out from a nearby castle to attack them as Lara gives birth, but Jor-El obliterates the attackers with his heat vision just as their son, Kal-El, is born. Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Storms, a peasant named Constantine has a vision of demons who will conquer the world, while King Jefferson listens and orders the prophecy recorded.
Nineteen years later, a now grown Prince Kal-El asks a knight named Bruce to let him join a hunt for a banshee, but Bruce refuses as the banshee's magic is one of the few things which could harm Kal-El. Bruce and Alfred ride to Feist Village, which has been evacuated by the Robins, orphan children who act as Bruce's spies and agents. Bruce goes to confront the banshee, whose name is Dinah, alone and accuses her of being an assassin sent by King Jefferson. Dinah denies it and attacks him, her screams levelling the building they stand in but leaving Bruce unharmed except for damaged ears much to both their shock. Kal-El swoops in and covers Dinah's mouth, observing that she looks like a scared girl rather than a monster. Bruce knocks Dinah unconscious and they carry her back to the Castle of El.
