MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 2007. Stopped in 2012 after 20 issues.

The story begins 5,000 years ago when an old shaman gives a magical ivory runestone to each of four siblings rendering them immortal. They are Aker, Dyo, Erlin, and Reka. The runestones each have good forces, but they must never be used together or they will cause mayhem.
But through time the siblings occasionally defy the old man's will, thus reshaping the history of the Western civilization; Moses' plagues on Egypt, the fate of the Spanish armada, the great fire of London, Napoleon's conquests, World War I, and Watergate are examples of their interferences.
