Together, they learned about a powerful writing feather, the Cosmic Forge, by a demon they had captured. The demon claimed that everything written down by the feather would become true. They managed to get hold of the Cosmic Forge and started to create horrible things. However, after some time the wizard and the king fell out, which resulted in a battle about the control of the Cosmic Forge. This was the last thing that was ever heard about them. But now a group of heroes is determined to find out what had happened all those years ago and find the Cosmic Forge.
