Every 5,000 years, the celestial planets Platymus, Cantrus, Glarion, aligns in perfect harmony with their moon. This is a cosmic event of greatest power and potential. The evil Emperor Zalthar long long ago directed his archmage, Mordak, to forge a mystical disc - the Pattena that has the ability to absorb the combined energy of these celestial bodies. Legend foretold that whosoever used the Pattena during the alignment can either dominate or destroy the celestial realms.

Five millennia ago, a coalition of heroes - the Planon Alliance - shattered the Pattena and stopped Zalthar's insidious scheme. The disc fragments were scattered across the planets and peace ensued for generations. However, Mordak’s agents have now diligently collected the hidden fragments and are much closer to restoring the dreaded artefact. 

It is up to five heroes - Kael, a skilled warrior with his own tragic past; Elara, a cunning rogue and a master thief; Zephyr, a charismatic bard with his own secrets; Thorne, a lone ranger with natural abilities; and Lyra, a young and inexperienced but gifted mage - to unite and prevent the Zalthar and Mordak from achieving their dark ambitions as the time of the alignment once more draws near. They must journey on across treacherous landscapes and enemy territory to locate the remaining disc fragments and learn more about their ancestors’ legacy. Failure is not an option for it would spell doom for all life as they know it.

She now fine-tuned her probing activity, delving subtly into Elara's consciousness, trying to understand the nature and layers of dark magic controlling her mind.

She could sense Elara's mind trying to instantly put up a resistance to her probing efforts. "Elara," she said gently in a soothing voice. "I want to help you. I know you're not the one doing this. I can help you remove the darkness that has ensnared you."

A faint emotion of confusion and anger appeared in Elara's eyes but the mind control spell began to get stronger. The dark amulet also sensed what was happening and it began to more insistently whisper into Elara's mind. Urging her to shut out Lyra's intrusion.
