Arak / Son of Thunder #44

Synopsis

Continuing their search for Arak's homeland, the friends dock at a port where there are plenty of ships at anchor, but no people. When they search the area, they're ambushed by an old enemy of Re-is Hazz', Samakin the pirate. Samakin and his men have been delivering sacrifices to a local priest of Shiva for sacrifice, and getting gold in return. When Samakin pushes a little too hard for payment for the latest prisoners, the priest transforms into the image of Shiva and begins slaughtering everybody. But, Arak's divine heritage shows up once again when he slays the creature with its own weapon.
