JABARI 1: trilogy
Description
In this first part of the trilogy, Jabari gets an unexpected visit on his twelfth birthday; the man hands the boy a white diamond and tells him he has to take it to the Dawn Castle within seven days. This is because Jabari ´s ancestor stole it centuries before and didn't read the inscription in the niche: "If you take this diamond, your first descendant who turns twelve on the eclipse of the century will turn into a diamond".Jabari is followed by a character named Umbra; he communicates with him through letters (no precisely kind ones) and although Jabari doesn't trust him, he must follow the instructions because he has no alternative... the castle is in another dimension.Jabari undertakes the task going through many trials and adventures: he ´s followed by strange creatures, vultures attack him, as well as a hollodim and Ogu´n, the great beast. And although he finds a good friend, Salim, someone is waiting for him in the other side of the third dimension: a despicable, ambitious being named Lomar Grendor who has the other diamond, the black one. And that ´s because if the two diamond are united...
