The location of the Stones of Magic have been found and the search continues. As does the personal quest that Mach has sworn he would complete. As important as the Stones of Magic are, the need to stop King Rubious is just as great. The measly forces that Mach has at his command are limited and he and his men know they stand no chance against the mighty army that Rubious commands. Allies are needed in order to survive. Long before the Damnation of the Mages, there had been an alliance with a group of seafaring people that had supported the Mages in numerous ways before the Great Wars. Mach has decided that it is vital to seek out these allusive people in the hopes of renewing that alliance. If the people within the Empire Seas are to survive Rubious, it is imperative that every race stand their ground. That belief is only strengthened as the group Mach had begun his quest with splits into three. A new Power comes to Rubious' command and the race for the Stones only becomes more important as the welfare of the Empire Seas is put on the path of destruction. Mach's own strengths and abilities will be put to the test as Rubious's Power grows. The time for being a child is over and now a young boy must stand as a man to the forces that stand before him.
