Fleeing from pursuers, Elric of Melniboné at last came to the sea, his horse having run until its heart had burst. With nowhere else to run, Elric went to sleep on the shore while he awaited his fate. When he awoke, however, a great ship appeared in the mists and its crew bade him come aboard.

The ship’s arrival was more than fortuitous, however—it had arrived especially for him. Elric was the last of the Four which the ship was to carry to their ultimate destination. The Four were Prince Corum, Ereköse, Hawkmoon, and Elric—four incarnations of the Warrior Eternal. These four now sailed on strange seas that took them between worlds and times. Their journey was to take them to a land native to these parts, where they must take arms against a brother and sister called Agak and Gagak. These two, if not stopped, would shape the very fabric of reality to their purposes. Even gods could not stand against them, thus it was up to the Four!
