The Wild Hunt arises from a rock pillar during a thunderstorm, only to set off without their leader. A lone horse seeking its master, that was the leader of the Wild Hunt, seeks help from Elias and his companions. Meanwhile, a new boy in the village named Gabriel investigates the site of where the Wild Hunt had arisen and, taking home a rock from there, meets a Mysterious Boy connected to the rock.

Hoping to remedy Chise's chills, Elias and his companions search for the lone horse's master while Gabriel, now called Gabe, gives the Mysterious Boy the name Evan to search for what he's missing. However, when Evan regains his memory of who he is and his duty, Gabe scorns the fact as he's losing a friend he's cherished so much.

Evan finally reunites with the Wild Hunt and is joined by an entranced Gabe, who later realizes the life of the Wild Hunt isn't actually for him.
