In the final episode of season 2, the hero, Horse, is trapped inside The Nowhere King's mind and presumed dead. However, Horse goes on a journey of discovery, exploring the origin of a Moosetaur (that is half Moose and half man) who fell in love with a character called The Woman. The sorrow of feeling not good enough for The Woman — and the eventual separating of his soul — leads to the transformation of the Nowhere King — a beast of pure darkness seeking
