+==Plot==
+{{Spoilers}}
+A mysterious man meets with [[Professor Darrow]] in [[Cambridge]]. He begins recounting the story of what happened to Sir Daniel Fortesque after [[The Autumn of Death]] in 1886. He explains that Sir Dan and [[Princess Kiya]] used [[Professor Hamilton Kift]]'s time machine to travel through time. However, the machine malfunctioned and separated them.
+===Time's Arrow===
+Sir Dan ends up in Gallowmere in 1286, just a day before the [[Battle of Gallowmere]]. He sees his living self give abuse to his hound, Lupo. He follows the living Dan into Castle Peregrin where he is summoned by the king.
+The king explains that the army of the undead is marching towards the castle and that they will attack within a day. The undead Dan secretly observes from a window, but Zarok closes it, making the undead Dan fall.
+Panic ensues on the ground as people presume the undead attack has begun. Dan dashes into an alley where he meets his second-in-command, Canny Tim. Tim takes Dan to meet with the fairy Griff who explains that a Jabberwocky will attack the castle later in the day. They form a plan to defeat it.
+Canny Tim heads to the Weapon Requisitions to obtain a weapon that can kill the Jabberwocky. The Requisitioner is uncooperative however and Tim is forced to break and steal the [[Magic Sword]] of [[Dirk Steadfast]].
+Meanwhile, Dan and Griff head to the living Dan's chambers where they knock him out and steal his fancy armour. Dan jumps out the window of the castle to face the now attacking Jabberwocky. Tim tosses Dan the Magic Sword using which he is able to cut off the Jabberwocky's head.
+===Battle of Gallowmere===
+Late at night, Dan is leaving the castle wondering if he'll ever see Princess Kiya again. He is jumped by Boris and Merek, Zarok's henchmen. Zarok orders them to take Dan far away from the castle to a place called [[The Mystic Maidens]].
+At the Mystic Maidens, Boris and Merek get ready to kill Sir Dan. However, before they can do anything, they are killed by Lupo, now transformed into a werewolf. Griff explains that Lupo is a weredog and that he used fairy magic to make Lupo recognise the undead Dan as his master.
+Griff introduces Dan to his sister Noreen who has a plan to ensure the Battle of Gallowmere happens as it should. She proposes that Dan needs to trade places with his living self by drinking a [[Body Swap Potion]] that her friend Wartilda can make for them.
+Using her fairy magic, Noreen teleports Dan to Kiya's tomb where he obtains one of the ingredients for the Body Swap potion and says his goodbyes to Kiya. After his return, the party is attacked by [[Zarok]]. Once Zarok's attack is repelled, Dan swaps bodies with his living self.
+The next morning, Dan and Canny Tim head into the castle to prepare. When they arrive on the battlefield, Dan explains Zarok's duplicity to the king. Finally, Dan dies as he knows he should and his story ends.
+Professor Darrow is amazed by the mysterious man's story about Dan and asks him how he knows all this. He reveals himself as a version of Sir Daniel Fortesque, now sporting an Egyptian eye prosthetic, Kiya's parting gift.
+==Development==
+The story for ''MediEvil: Fate's Arrow'' was originally conceptualised back in 2003 as a sequel to ''[[MediEvil 2]]''. The comic book version does feature significant changes from the original outline however. The story takes place over the course of two days instead of three weeks, Kiya is not revealed to be the evil sorceress [[Kiyante]] and many characters and locations do not appear in the comic, likely to keep the story more focused and concise.
