White Light, Red Fire

Inspired by Braveheart, a late 13th-century Scottish warrior who led the Scots in the First War of Scottish Independence against King Edward I of England. “White Light - Red Fire” is a story about a strong aggressor looking to conquer a smaller nation. The story is however situated in a different time and place. The aggressor desires the natural resources of the land. A red stone, othium, is inert until in the hands of an old alchemist who can turn the dull red rock into a weapon of power and destruction. In the Second Age the stone had powered great craft to conquer the planet and explore the outer worlds. The Council of Five became all powerful but reached too far and a greater power had to intervene. Now in the Third Age the alchemist returns with world domination again his ambition. Only the brave can resist the conquest and only a power for good, gifted to one man, can stop the destruction.
