Synopsis

Plot

The King has a deadly illness and the Princess Pethal, your future wife, is the only living heir to the throne. The Princess, has fallen into a deep sleep and there is no way to wake her. The holy scriptures state that if there is no one to rule over the land, then the dark days shall return.

The King's Mage, Sartan, explains that the princess is not asleep, but under a dark spell. She is actually awake and well, but only the power of the Elltears tree (the tree of truth) will tell her this.

You must find the cave under the sacred Elltears tree and collect some water from the small pool of rainwater that you will find there, for the rainwater has passed through the heart of the Elltears tree and absorbed some of its power. Return the rainwater to the princess and she will be given back the breath of life. But you must hurry, as time is not on your side.

Notes

The game was published in The Grim Reaper, issue 9, May 1993.

Documentation included in the disk magazine stated that the adventure was in two parts and a password would be required to start part 2. Part 2 was to appear in a future issue of The Grim Reaper, but it appears that it was never published.

The game was later included on the five adventure Aura Adventures public domain compilation disk (disk 251) consisting of The Island, The Bow of Beura, The Breath of Life (Part 1), Corsair! and Atlantis.
