Plot

For almost 1000 years, the Skeksis used the power of the Crystal, but recently it has become impossible, since everything that could be used has already been used up. The Skeksis could no longer extend their own lives, which means that their reign of Thra was in jeopardy. Skeksis Emperor begins to look for a way out.

Realizing that the Crystal is already damaged, the Emperor orders his scientist to create an alternative that will help the rest of the Skeksis maintain life. Having made a mistake in the calculations, the scientist finds a way to use the Crystal in such a way that the life of its relatives can be extended at the expense of the lives of the inhabitants of Thra.

With the help of accomplices, the scientist abducts the Crystal Guard Gelfling, after which some residents of Thra begin to understand for what purpose the Skeksis use the Dark Crystal. Terrible things begin to happen on Thra: animals become uncontrollable, insects mutate, plants become wild and frighten the locals.

The main fighters with the Skeksis are Rian and Brea. Most of the time, being in close proximity to these terrible creatures, they understand – soon Thra will be hard. After actions aimed at restoring the Skeksis’ vital energy, Rian decides to fight the offenders, persuades Brea, and gathers supporters in his ranks.

Among the creatures that inhabit Thra, there are those who are ready to engage in open battle with the Skeksis. Many tremble before their strength and knowledge. But the stronger the situation develops, the more it becomes clear why the Skeksis need to be quickly removed from power. The mutation of the Dark Crystal did not pass unnoticed and affected the nature of Thra.
