So this is a sequel to The Giggling Dark. If you're getting here fresh, I really recommend getting into that first. In it Xellous goes from child prodigy enchanter to the most promising Celestial Knight ever seen on the planet Pyheeta, fighting against the seemingly endlessly massive race of khen-zai. He also got mixed up in the khen-zai's war against the eldritch horrors known as The Nameless, earning the admiration of not just the very stars in the heavens but the celestial choirs as well.
It's two years later. Xellous and his wife, Kora, have had a child of their own. The region of Khouria is well on its way to recovering from the ravages of the Nameless and the khen-zai have not been seen since the appearance of Raphael the Archangel. And yet Xellous is not satisfied. The khen-zai are still out there. Xellous knows the day will come when the khen-zai will return; he did kill one of the top members of their race, not to mention humiliate another, personally.
So even though Xellous has relaxed he has not been idle. He has continued to practice the mysterious power of Aura Bending, an ability that is unique to him as a Celestial Knight. While the he known as the hero that saved Khouria he has tried to stay away from being the leader of the region with every last of energy that he has. Because he knows someday he will have to leave.
That day has come.
It's time to find Telos, the mysterious friend from another planet who helped him achieve his goals the last time.
It's time to get back to work.
