Stardate Unknown
Bajor's spiritual leader, Kai Opaka (Camille Saviola), visits the station for the first time. After a tour, Sisko (Avery Brooks), Bashir (Siddig El Fadil) and Kira (Nana Visitor) agree to accompany her on a trip through the wormhole.
When their Runabout is attacked, it crash lands on a small moon. The Kai is killed and the officers are captured by a race of battle-scared humanoids trapped in an endless war.
After a brutal enemy attack, the Kai appears - alive and well! Soon all the soldiers who were killed in the attack also come back to life and Sisko learns that as long as they are on this planet, the combatants cannot die - but if the station officers die, even once, they can never leave! Can they escape before suffering a fate worse than death?

Stardate 46729.1
Commander Sisko (Avery Brooks) is asked to mediate a dispute between two rival Bajoran factions. To everyone's surprise, one of the negotiators, Varis Sul (Gina Philips), turns out to be a 15-year-old girl.
Meanwhile, O'Brien (Colm Meaney) and Bashir (Siddig El Fadil) beam down to a Bajoran village in grave danger - their leader, the Sirah (Kay E. Kutler), is sick and if he dies the village will be destroyed by a terrible creature, the Dal'Rok. That night, as the Dal'Rok approaches, the Sirah tells a story uniting the people of the village, but he weakens and O'Brien is forced to step in and help.
As Varis struggles to negotiate a peaceful solution for her people, O'Brien must find a new storyteller to take his place - or the villagers will never let him leave.
