In the Fireworld Comic book, Konjuro relates to King Tyrannus how the twins' adoptive parents were also killed, and how they became the fugitive thieves they were when we first met them.

Tyrannus, through a spell, offers the twins part of his rule, but they refuse and gently fall to Fireworld.

The Twins split up in search of water. With the Talisman, Torr summons Mentorr, who reveals the Chalice of Light and says it will quench his thirst and more. He then disappears.

Both Tarra and Torr discover armor and weapons, as well as creatures intent on doing them harm. They are eventually reuinited and pass through a gateway of flame to find a chalice. Startled by a voice behind them, Torr drops the chalice, which shatters. They turn to see Herminus drinking from the true Chalice. He hands it over to them, stating that he no longer needs it, and an image of the crown can be seen at the bottom. After Hermanus's departure, the twins quench their thirst and the Chalice begins to grow. They mysteriously find themselves inside the Chalice, which is the gateway to Waterworld. Konjuro still watches.
