The Last Living Essence

On a distant planet called Penerlin, high in the Mesosphere, there existed an extraordinary civilization known as the Perlindians. They were guardians of their home, protectors of the Xenak, a powerful being that was reborn every four centuries, and the desire of the Rydex, a hostile technology-loving race, who wished to seize their power. The Perlindians found themselves in an unparalleled war against the Rydex, a fight that culminated in their painful defeat.
