Oracle (Pain)

Magic is Dead. Or is it? The Quy has been dead for four centuries, but when a sorceress from the Old Alcazar appears, Ren is forced to rebirth the power he didn't even know he possessed. After searching ancient prophecies, Ren discovers he is the Chosen who alone can defeat the impending darkness, but he has to master the power of his emotions – the emotions of the Quy. Choice, Chance, and Fate will call him. Love, hate and pain will inundate him. But which will he choose to guide him? His fate is the fate of the Lands. His emotions will change the world. The quest begins. The Defenders are rising. The truths to defeat the darkness are Ren's to grasp if he can trust the Maker long enough to hear them.

The Defenders Unite. With the rebirth of magic, Ren's quest was born. The Black Knight, the Avenger, and Chris Kahn join Ren in his quest, but they all have to overcome the pain of their emotions in order to fight for the light. Can the Avenger betray his love? Can the Black Knight release his hate? Can Chris rise through his anguish? If the defenders of the Quy do not choose the right path, Ren's fate will end in darkness. Without faith the quest is already lost, but when Ren's hopes are stripped away, will he have any faith left? The quest continues. The Defenders unite. The truths to defeat the darkness are Ren's to grasp if only he can trust the Maker long enough to hear them.

The Quest has only just begun. The threat to the Lands is far from over. With the release of the Red Eye's hate, the seal to the Quietus' prison has broken; Barracus has escaped the underworld; and the Adderiss has taken Aidan and issued a demand – Ren must find the Dragon's Tear, the third Eye of the Quy, the Eye of Pain. The Adderiss and Barracus want to control the Lands with the Eyes' power; the Quietus just wants complete destruction. The Defenders stand ready. Aaron travels to find a creature that may provide the magic to stop Barracus. Nigel intends to mend the seal in the Quietus' prison. Chris joins Ren to search for a way to save the Lands, but their search will lead directly to the Tear. When Ren learns it can be used as a portal to travel back in time, will he choose to withstand its pain in order to obtain a secret that will help defeat the darkness? The truths are needed. The quest is on. But there is another reason Ren needs to find the Tear. The Tear will ensure his death. It is the only way. Let the purpose be revealed . . .
