Apoya al Podcast como FAN de Terraescribiente en IVOOX o en PATREON y escucha todos los audios sin Restricción! Bienvenidos a otro podcast de "Aventura Sonora" aquí en TERRAESCRIBIENTE. En esta ocasión vamos a escuchar: "EL CRISTAL ENCANTADO" En un mundo antiguo, en la era de la maravilla, el equilibrio de Thra dependía del sagrado Cristal de la Verdad, fuente de armonía y conocimiento. Pero cuando este se fragmentó, la tragedia dividió a los urskeks en dos razas opuestas: los místicos, sabios ermitaños, y los skekses, tiranos oscuros que reinaron con crueldad desde el Castillo del Cristal. Unidos por un vínculo indisoluble, la muerte de uno significaba el fin del otro. Durante mil años, la oscuridad se extendió sobre Thra. Pero una antigua profecía hablaba de un gelfling destinado a restaurar el cristal y destruir el mal para siempre. Temerosos, los skekses ordenaron la aniquilación de su raza, creyendo erradicar toda amenaza. Sin embargo, un niño sobrevivió. Criado por los místicos, Jen, el último gelfling, fue preparado para cumplir su destino. En su viaje, encontrará a Kira, otra superviviente, y juntos desafiarán la tiranía, guiados por la sabia Aughra y protegidos por el leal Fizzgig. La batalla entre la luz y la sombra está por decidirse. El destino de Thra recae en un solo héroe, en un solo acto de valentía… y el tiempo se agota.

Unfortunately for Jen, the supposedly all knowing Mystics are short on important information and send Jen to Aughra for a shard he doesn't know what to do with.

Jen (Jim Henson/Stephen Garlick) is the only creature of his kind, a Gelfling. Not only that, but he is the hero prophesied to restore the dark crystal, thus ending the despotic reign of the evil Skeksis over the planet Thra. Meeting allies Aughra (Frank Oz/Billie Whitelaw) and Kira (Kathryn Mullen/Lisa Maxwell) along the way, will Jen succeed in his mission before the fateful conjunction of planets? Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaH6cOR8NKc ********PLOT SPOILER ALERT******** Unfortunately for Jen and the gang, the crystal has shown the Skeksis exactly what is afoot. They send out minions and roadblocks to foil them at every turn to secure their seat of power for all eternity. Will this be the latest episode where the bad guys win? Only one way to find out!
