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. Modern day orphans Brian and Brenna are living their normal teenage lives when strange things begin to guide them to their new destinies. Unaware of each other they are united at an abandoned ranch in Oregon. They both must endure individual trials, come to believe that they have value, and embrace the great things they see and hear. They also learn that they have been given gifts and powers that will set them apart as leaders in Nature’s forces. Using the powers generated by earth, wind, fire, and water, they will combat Malus Vis and his army. All in an effort to prevent the dragons that live in the mountains of Avalon from being infected by the Ooze. If they are not successful the dragons will become an evil and powerful ally for Malus Vis.
