Yag-kosha reveals to Conan the pre-cataclysmic saga of his alien people, their arrival on Earth from the planet Yog, and how he taught Yara the art of magic, only to have his own apprentice betray him; but Conan's intrusion is the perfect opportunity for revenge. Moved to pity by Yag-kosha's plea, Conan, as instructed, grabs the fabled jewel, mercifully kills the elephant-like being, extracts the heart from his corpse, and drips its blood over the Heart of the Elephant. When he sets the blood-infused relic in front of Yara in his sleeping-chamber, the gem's magic shrinks and draws the soceror into the jewel. Inside, a revived Yag-kosha, limbs and wings restored, pursues the screaming Yara as the Heart vanishes.
