Leonel wakes up expecting to hear the forest sounds around his camp. Instead he
is lying on a hard surface, and hears a hum and feels a vibration deep in his very being.
He is greeted by a tall white haired man who introduces himself as Ekolore and explains
to Leonel that he has been brought on aboard an interplanetary craft to complete Leonel's
genetic augmentation.
When Leonel is returned to earth, he thinks he had a weird dream until he discovers his
food has gone bad and he starts to see changes in his perceptions, of his surrounds.
He arrives home and finds he has been missing for three weeks. He contacts his work and has an
interview with his manager who informs him that she is the leader of a group of people who are
highly advanced 'energy managers' calling themselves 'The Light', who are able to read and
manipulate peoples thoughts and physical energies. She tell him that he has become a part of that
elite group, but hints that for him it is a more dangerous place than before.
He is introduced to members of the group who are tasked with helping him learn to use
his new abilities and help protect him from the dangers of his new world. Of those he meets one
is a young woman half Latino and half Japanese, an Afro-American woman, an elderly First
Nations Shaman, who is able to call on beings from other dimensions, an impertinent young man
of European origin, and an Irish woman who can call on the wee folk. All skill in different
abilities of energy manipulation.
