But they exacted a terrible price for they were an incredible narcotic. After only a single use, they dragged you in, sucked your soul dry, leaving you to lingering death.rnrnWhere did they come from? And what really were they? For Gleia, Shounach and Deel it had become a matter of desperate urgency, for each had lost someone to the Eyes, someone they could not forget. For them the source of these damnable jewels must be found and destroyed. Otherwise the Ranga Eyes would destroy them and all their world.rn
