Zardeth delivers a prophecy to the kingdom of Crystallium, which leads to a split between the princes Crystar and Moltar. To save Crystar from a deadly injury, the wizard Ogeode sends him into the Prisma-Crystal, where he emerges as a warrior of crystal. To save Moltar from the magical crystal rain, Zardeth sends him into underground lava, where he emerges as a man of hardened lava.
