A group known as the Red and Blacks terrorizes the southlands taking men, women and children into slavery. They are unbeatable with their source of hi-tech weaponry that cannot be matched. No-one knows where the new weapons come from but they are constantly changed and upgraded. The only ones to stand up to the Red and Blacks are mystics who are able to use their mind power as a defense. But they have been scattered and are targeted since an unsuccessful attempt on the Red and Black stronghold in the north. Hoag is one of the stronger mystics and knows they must pool their abilities and fight back. Black, also a mystic, is using the old forbidden books to bring an unearthly creature into the mix and make himself all powerful. 'The traveler' is a strong young man known for his fighting abilities and feared by the Red and Blacks. Hoag believes he may be of help. Black also seeks 'the traveler' who has become a thorn in his side. The young man is different and fearless. He has walked the roads from an early age always helping those in need. Where he came from is unknown. He always moves alone knowing it is safer for others that way since his enemies take out their frustrations on those who are associated with him. Who wins in the final conflict will depend on the greatest source of strength and who has access to wield it.
