She is rescued by the Chimera, a mythical creature made of light that travels through stone and is a portal to another world. Kyra keeps the terrifying encounter a secret, leaving her mother alone and helpless when the Raturro return to capture her.á As Kyra surveys the devastation in her apartment, she faces another shock - the unexpected presence of her father Jaag, who has been absent from her life for years.ááJaag uses the Chimera portal to bring Kyra to the land of Antiica, where a war is being waged against the vicious rebel rats and their leader, Majellan.
