An evil and powerful blue ooze has been creeping through the mountains of Avalon for over six hundred years, it invades the once cool clean waters of that land. The ooze has a profound effect on any creature that drinks from the waters there. Over the last six hundred years, thousands of orcs, trolls, giants, and elves have become subject to the power of the ooze. Malus Vis, a former apprentice of Merlin, who is angry with his former mentor, has tapped into the energy generated by the ooze and has created a mighty army that eventually has forced Nature and its powers from the area. Nature’s last remaining hope will come from the Electi- the chosen ones, two young people whose birth was prophesied of hundreds of years ago.
