Prologue: A mountain  Born millions of years ago at a place where, much later, humanity would have its origins Even today it still reveals its beginnings as a magic symbol on a lake surface. The reflection of the Horu, the mirror-image of the rocky pyramid, reveals where it originated – the continent of Africa. A dragon encased in ice, it has summoned many – yet chosen only few. This is not the tale of the mountain – It is the tale of the souls who followed its call.
