Meanwhile the natural principles of the universe were going haywire. Fire balls plummeted into major American cities. A violent Earthquake rocked the peaceful European nation of Markovia. Even the forces of magic seemed to be tearing at the seams and it was all due to the scheming of the sorceress Circe in her attempts to destroy the world and collect all the pieces for herself.
