In Karla Turner’s Into the Fringe, James describes a dream in which he is a small child listening to an older version of himself tell a story. The older self presents a tale of a young prince who searches the world for the source of evil. The dream begins with the prince setting out to understand why darkness spreads across the land.
The prince meets many people in his wandering, yet none can show him the actual cause of the evil. Eventually a sorcerer tells him the source lies under the ocean. This insight sends him home for a time, only for the evil in the world to intensify.
When he resumes his search, he meets another wizard who finally shows him the way beneath the sea, where he battles the hidden force. The prince’s friends wait anxiously above, unsure whether he will ever return and restore order.
