The VarTerels' Universe is in chaos. A galactic drama intensifies. On the surface of the fountain, Elcaro's Eye, pictures flash and disappear:
Esán and his friends, pursued buy the evil Mindeco from RewFaar and a savage creature from the planet TreBlaya, stumble between giant man-eating trees. A rumbling howl pushes them faster. If only they could teleport...
The raven Karrew sits on a makeshift perch, his injured wing taped to his side. Around him, ghosts of violent criminals hover, empty eyes staring. Distantly, he recalls the life he once led...
Wolloh, High DiMensioner od DerTah, lays in a senseless stupor. Only Relevart, the VarTerel of the Inner Universe, has the power to save him. Where is he?
Flames fill the fountain's bowl. A long his echoes through Veersuni. The fire fades. Red eyes of death search the sanctuary.
Water spills from alabaster palms erasing the image, but the evil intention of The MasTer's Reach.
