Story
Have you seen the Red Sky? And the Green Lightning? Rumour has it that whenever the sky turns red and the land is struck by green, the Narrator appears. A time traveller I hear. You best be a good boy. You best be a good girl. Otherwise the Legena will come true. The Narrator will get you.
Long thought to be just a childhood monster under the bed, the children of the world sleep quietly and scared of him. Keeping in line and never stepping a foot out of line. But throughout history, records show the Narrator has claimed his victims. His kill tally out-shines any criminal or army.
On their way to Dynol and Vesira to bring peace between all lands, Tetiro Aceus runs into a man named Scholar who holds the secrets to the Narrator’s downfall. Every question you have he knows. And the Narrator knows it. The Narrator is coming for Scholar. Running from the Narrator, Tetiro Aceus and Atesan Turwin are hired to protect Scholar from the Narrator.
Meanwhile, other heroes are making a move. An old friend of Tetiro and Atesan’s is heading to Dynol to solve a mystery of missing people. A Pirate Lord and his trusty companion are planning to steal a ship. And a toy animal comes to life, not knowing who she is or where she came from. Together, they will solve the rumours that surround Dynol and Vesira.
