Gorbash! Gorbash! Come!
There was time between the
waning age of enchantment
and the dawning age of logic
when dragons flew the skies.
Free and unencumbered.
Look down there Gorbash, my friend!
On that troubled earth below us,
confusion and chaos reign.
All mankind is facing an epic choice.
A world of magic or a world of science.
Which will it be?

This cannot be.
must exist side by side.
Not destroy each other.
Take care!
Be careful with your
machines I say.
Who is making all that rumpus?
It's that balmy old gent
what lives upstream.
Your motors must not
crowd out all magic.
For the world is lost.
How sort of magician I hear?
I am Carolinus!
The Green Wizard.
Your loony you are. Get
back to where you belong.
I belong everywhere, for my
domain is the green world.
Nature itself and all its inhabitants!
Envatos... Umabella... Flamenca...
Away with your mill wheel.
A ball of blue magic to make it disappear.
Disappear say I!
Kala!
Magic he calls it.
My little boy could do better.
- Father you need rest.
- No time.
Just was not there.
I called upon magic and there was none.
Oh
- The pain again?
- I can't let it bother me.
Have you written the
messages as I asked?
Yes father, but...
Then summoned The Silver
Owls Of The Full Moon.
- But...
- Summoned them I say!
Is it true?
Did they stone you?
Well, me and young Gorbash will fix um'...
We'll burn down that mill and
devour every living one of them.
That would do no good.
Just a little scared then... uh?
their hair white uh?
Smrgol, please!
Father, the owls.
Smrgol, I'm summoning my
brothers to a meeting.
Our first in four centuries.
Away.
Ommadon too?
The ancient laws command he be included.
Make Gorbash ready for the journey
to the Temple Of All Antiquity.
I wish I could carry you, old friend.
No, you serve me well as the past.
Let young Gorbash bear your burdens now.
Father, who are these brothers?
You never spoken to me of them.
I know you are Green
Wizard Of Nature Realm.
But the others?
My brother Solarius, is the Blue Wizard.
Lord of the depths and the heights.
deepest ocean, highest mountain.
My brother calls council, but why?
Lunarian! Lunarian!
And my brother Lo Tae Zhao.
The Golden Wizard.
He is lord of transcendence,
healing, contemplation.
I was expecting this, it was inevitable.
Shen Zu, Shen Zu!
And finally, high in Loathly Tower.
My last brother,
Ommadon.
The Red Wizard.
Lord of the devils domain,
seducer of darkness,
master of that heartless
Bryagh, Bryagh!
My fool brother has just
realized the inevitable.
Well, I'll go.
Bryagh I say!
Astride the terrible Bryagh,
he is absolute ruler
of that infernal like mass of
primordial filth which is his domain.
But why does Antiquity force you to
include something so abominable?
As evil is a part
of all things,
evil is a part of
our world of magic.
For the irony of all existence
is that good would be
totally impotent without
the contrast of evil.
Oh father, take care.
- Then I am on my way.
Ah? Whether does thou
command me, Oh Master?
Gorbash, for pity's sake,
no formality please.
Heh,... Well I ah,... Like to
do things by the book.
To the Temple Of All Antiquity.
- Right. Where?
- I'll guide to as we go.
Away.
Dear brothers, we meet today in
the Temple Of All Antiquity.
Come, come get on with it.
Why did you summon us?
As you must have noticed, our magic
powers have been growing dim.
I have so noticed.
It is because man is
choosing logic over magic.
- But why?
- Because logic is so,... Logical.
So what are you going to do?
Sit around like a bunch of old
nanny's and let it happen?
Please, hear me out.
last realm of magic.
- Magnificent!
- Incredible!
The Magic Realm, where
all enchanted things
might retreat before
their age ends.
If we consolidate our powers
there will be enough magic left
to create such a place.
Sealed off from the rest of the world
by the Midst Of Invisibility.
You would defeat science and logic with,...
a foolish retirement village?
Not defeat my brother, enhance.
The world though it does not realize
For example, man hears of the
dragons invulnerable skin
and lo, he makes
armor, battleships, tanks.
A fairy flies and furiously jealous man
machines he will call airplanes.
A magician looks into this crystal
and sees and hears halfway
across the world.
"Aha", says man, "if only it could be so."
And centuries from now
