Ace and his two companions awoke to discover that they had crashed landed onto a mystical island. They quickly discovered that their ship was destroyed, and they were stranded. They also discovered that the island’s inhabitants, the Multitude, were trying to protect a tree that guarded a treasure. Of course, they decided to obtain the treasure for themselves. They attacked and soon drove back the tree’s guardians but then discovered that the treasure within was useless to anyone but the Multitude. They were horrified to also realize they had seriously damaged the Guardian Tree, but Ace had a potion that he used to repair the damage.
Soon they found themselves engaged in a massive battle to determine who would rule the island. Ace and his compatriot soon claimed control, but before they could settle in to their new roles as rulers, they were attacked and defeated. The new ruler took control of the island and called herself the Queen of Hearts. She ordered her minions to execute everyone who had opposed her.
The executed rebels soon reanimated as zombies, but they were quickly defeated. After that, all the rebels who had not yet been executed escaped from jail and were chased by some knights.
Suddenly, there was a shout from the Mothers of the Realm and the brave adventures found themselves torn asunder and transported away from the mystical isle and forced to study under the tutelage of the Great Mothers.
