"The Magic Odyssey Book Three"

This story is continued from Arion, Lord of Atlantis #31 and continues in Arion, Lord of Atlantis #33.

Synopsis:
Arion embarks on a quest to find a dark gem that he saw in a vision when his magic returned. His quest leads him to a passage into Darkworld. Along the way he meets an imp named Ghy. With the imp's guidance, Arion is led to the heart of Darkworld where long forgotten memories suddenly return.

Following his sacrifice 100,000 years earlier, Ahri'ahn died. Caculha sent him into the heart of Darkworld where he met a woman named Jheryl and Ghy. Arion remembrance is cut short when Darkworld itself begins to attack. After escaping one danger, Arion's mother Majistra appears and plucks the gem off Arion's chest. It had been the source of his returned magic, and without it, he is powerless.

Meanwhile back in Atlantis, D'Tilluh has died at his own hand. The ministers debate upon who to name as his successor. T'Galla, the king's warrior daughter barges into the chamber and announces that she has returned home.
