Synopsis
On the forgotten world of Génãrō, the young teenager Taren takes his recently restored Waterhog out for a test ride into the great swamp. (A single engined waterbike designed to navigate the treacherous waters of the Great Swamp.) After a run in with one of the swamp's more dangerous creatures, Taren finds himself lost and alone with no way to find his way home.
A storm bearing down on him, his compass broken, and night fast approaching, Taren must find shelter off the mirror black-waters or he won’t survive the night.
These turn of events will lead Taren onto a journey of self discovery, and to a secret that has lain dormant for over a thousand years.

!!!!-Spoiler Alert-!!!!!
A lot has happened since Taren’s first adventure, Lost in the Swamp.
Shortly after Taren’s return, Arlon, his adoptive father is killed protecting Taren from a Zagaroth. Taren who was gravely injured found the will to make the gruelling three day trip back to Lorn with the body of Arlorn in their crippled boat. Once Taren recovered he packed what little processions he had onto his Waterhog’s saddlebags and rode off into the heart of the great swamp, fleeing the guilt from those who blamed him for Arlorn’s death.
Five years on, Taren’s guilt has not abated, and on top of this Taren longs to know where he came from and who his family were. The only clue to his past is the necklace found with him when he was left on the orphanage steps in Gwell and the only place that may know of his necklace's meaning would be in the library of the Highland Temple. A place where no one outside the Temple's ranks may enter. Not that it matters, nothing, not even Taren's curiosity could pry him away from his solitary life.
All this changes when one stormy night an injured woman washes up on Taren’s doorstep bearing the mark of the Highland Temple, her only words in her injured state.
“Is the princess alive?”
