In the year 1160 a young man named Raman travels to Morocco to join the Sect of Shah where he is to become their head horse trainer. Raman is introduced to the practice of meditating on a special "Magic" carpet whose intricate, colorful patterns induce the user into seeing ever changing patterns and scenes within their minds. In his interactions with other members of the sect he learns that the carpet is not magical alone but rather that the entire World and everything in it is magical for those who have learned to see.
