>--L--------!--------------------------------------------------------R äLONE WOLF 22: 'The Buccaneers Of Shadaki'ä ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Story synopsis: --------------- The concluding half of the two-part quest to return the fabled Š Moonstone to its creators - The Shianti - who are exiled upon the Š remote Isle of Lorn at the distant tip of southern Magnamund. Lone Wolf - now Supreme Master of the Kai - has delegated the task Š of returning the Moonstone to the most-promising warrior in the Š ranks of the New Order Kai. The reader (in the role of this New Š Order Kai warrior) must deliver the Moonstone to the distant Isle Š of Lorn. This secret mission becomes a life and death struggle when Š agents of the Dark God ambush the reader and steal the Moonstone. Š The tension builds for the New Order Kai who must now hunt down and Š retrieve the Moonstone before the quest can be completed. Cover brief: ------------ Depict an undersea combat scene between the New Order Kai warrior (as shown on the cover of Lone Wolf 21) and a monstrous reptillian. The action takes place at a depth of 30' near a coral reef in warm, Š sub-tropical waters (akin to the Great Barrier Reef in northern Š Australia). The setting should feature shoals of colourful fish, Š the sun's rays filtering turquoise water, and a sea-bed of fine Š white sand. I envision the monster to be a gigantic sea-going lizard, with Š claw-tipped webbed feet (to aid its propulsion) and a crocodillian Š head. It attacks its prey with its sharp teeth, crushing jaw, and Š razor-sharp talons. The Kai warrior is attempting to wound the Š creature with his sword as they tumble towards the sea-bed. Lying Š on the sea-bed should be a leather satchel which contains the Š Moonstone. A halo of golden light surrounds and radiates from the Š satchel, intimating at the power of the stone within.
