Synopsis for "...And in a Far-Off Land!"
A wizard brings a murderer sitting in a jail cell to his world and blanks his memory as an incentive to battle evil creatures for their people. If the warrior will fight, the wizard will return his memory and allow him the choice to stay or go back to his cell. The warrior agrees, and after attaining victory in battle, the wizard is true to his word and restores the murderer's memory. The wizard asks if he would stay or return to Earth, and the man says that he would like to stay, but feels obligated to return to his cell and pay for his crime.
