Plot
Boy Blue fights the dragon, and wraps the invincible Witching Cloak around his mouth, causing the dragon to burst into flames from holding in his breath. Boy Blue enters a portal into another realm though the inside of the dead dragon. Boy Blue then battles the White Horseman, but suspects that Bigby tricked him into thinking Baba Yaga is dead. Blue also kills the Horseman's two brothers, who are also knights. However, members of the Empire soon discover Boy Blue's intentions. Using the cloak, Blue transforms into multiple animals. Meanwhile, in Empire lands, the Snow Queen says that the Black Knight's talents won't compare to hers.
Trivia
