Disgusted at repeatedly needing to negotiate peace between warring groups, the Phantom gives up. Elderly Wuru tells the story of how the Phantom's mother-to-be Maude was kidnapped by an arrogant prince, who then captured the Phantom's father-to-be and set him to continuously working a pump to water the pigs. That Phantom allowed his chain to scrape over stone until he could break free, capture the prince, and free Maude. He added the chain to Skull Throne, entrusting Wuru with the story. Taking the lesson of patience, the Phantom resumes negotiatons, restoring the Phantom Peace.
