Darkos, holy priest of Alerion, the God of Peace and Healing, has just arrived at the castle of the Evil, Dark Sorceress, backed by his trusty, if clumsy, companion, Geela. They fling open the doors to find the place dusty and decrepit.

"Oh dear, this place is showing its age," Geela sighs.

And with those words, everything Darkos knew about his friend is turned on its head. Geela, far from a naive farm girl, is a 70-year-old Dark Mistress, hell-bent on exacting revenge on her ex-husband Barney for cheating on her, trashing her place, and changing the locks.

Geela is everything Darkos has sworn to defeat. A bastion of dastardly deeds. A pinnacle of evil...

...so of course he finds himself tagging along.
