- A story told in flashback revealing more details of the origins of Volthoom, the First Lantern. This story shows how billions of years ago, Rami helped Volthoom to learn how to use the first power ring, until the power of the ring drove Volthoom mad and Rami created the first seven Green Lantern rings from pieces of the Travel Lantern and sent them to find worthy beings that could stand against Volthoom. We see one of the rings choose Calleen of Alstair to be another of the first seven Green Lanterns.
