Seeing this, the Kafirs realize that Dravot is not a god after all but only a man, and they immediately rebel. Together with a few loyal soldiers, Dravot and Carnehan flee. At this point Dravot has lost his mind, raving about being an emperor even as Carnehan tries to lead him away from danger. The rebels catch up to them and cut away the rope bridge that Dravot is standing on, causing him to plummet to his death. Carnehan is crucified between two pine trees, but when he survives the night, the Kafirs declare it a miracle and release him.

As he finishes telling his story to the narrator, Carnehan opens the bag he is carrying, revealing the severed head of Dravot, still wearing a golden crown.

Later that day, the narrator comes across Carnehan crawling in the dust by the side of the road, singing to himself, apparently having lost his mind. The narrator takes Carnehan to an asylum. A few days later, he learns from the asylum superintendent that Carnehan has died of heatstroke. The bag carrying the crowned head of Dravot is nowhere to be found.
