Посиживая как-то на берегу жаркого моря на отдаленном Синколе, Том неожиданно узрел своего давнего знакомца архимага Ареуса, коего не желал бы видеть еще как минимум пару веков. Когда первое желание запустить в архимага "Молнией Андала" прошло, он выслушал старого чародея, который сделал ему предложение, от которого Том не смог отказаться.
