Plot Summary

The mounting burdens finally become too much for Ret, and he abandons his destiny to "cure the world." But the Oracle has much more to teach our young hero, even powers unseen.

Things heat up and then really cool down as the quest for the fourth element extends to the bottom of the globe. Join Ret as he braves an abominable snowbeast, ventures deep inside Antarctica's most ancient glacier, and then needs help from a certain loved one as he comes face-to-face with his toughest challenge yet: himself.
