Pepper and her human Zamir find themselves in modern-day Afghanistan. As the magic carpet flies over the landscape, a giant bird creature plucks Pepper up and flies her away to his nest at the top of the mountain. There, Pepper meets Dana, who'd also been stolen by the giant bird, and reveals that it is actually a mythical Simurgh. They've been tasked with protecting the Simurgh's precious eggs from the giant cobra that emerges to eat them.
