The Companions of The Kin were basking in the glory of their victory over Agrippa and peace had returned to the Realms of Reality. But in these many worlds of wonder, death is not always final or fatal for some, and Agrippa, although dead in the physical sense, still had his spirit at large. Returning in the form of four of his greatest sorcerers, he plans a terrible revenge on the Companions of The Kin - the release of The Black Serpent; embodiment of all the evil that had beset Mankind since the dawn of history. Once again The Kin is called to give their aid to the Companions and set out through the Realms to try and prevent the four sorcerers releasing the Black Serpent.
