The Story
Alex, a young boy from the village of Burg is convinced to go on a short
adventure to
'The Ice Dragon's Cave' by his friend Ramus. Luna, his childhood
sweetheart, and Nall,
his flying pet, also decide to come along. However, they did not actually
expect to meet a
real dragon there, which they did! It turns out that the dragon is actually
rather friendly
and he gives them a diamond. Unfortunately, they can only sell something
that expensive
in the city of Merabia, on the other side of the ocean. Luna decides that
she can not leave
her home, and Alex, Ramus, and Nall leave her behind and sail across the
sea.
During a little fiasco with the diamond getting stolen and the two getting
it back, Alex
discovers that he possesses the power of magic. Nash, a young wizard who
also notices
this, invites Alex to visit the flying city of Vane, home of the Magic
Guild. Alex decides to
go, but Ramus, who can not comprehend the power of magic, decides to stay
behind in
Merabia to make his fortune.
Alex discovers right before reaching the city of Vane that he must first be
tested in
'The Cave of Trial' before he can enter the city. Naturally he passes with
flying colors and
gets to meet the great magician Ghaleon. Ghaleon decides to give Alex a
small quest to
prove his worth by finding a phony Dragonmaster. Nash accompanies Alex on
his quest.
While hunting down and defeating the phoney Dragonmaster the two are joined
shortly by
Jessica, a shaman in-training. When Alex and Nash return to Vane, Alex is
thrown in
prison by the head Guildmistress of Vane!
Fortunately he is rescued by Mia, the Guildmistress' daughter. Mia believes
that her
mother is under an evil spell and asks Alex to help her. Being the guy that
he is, he does.
After a few short battles, Mia's mother is revealed to actually be Xenobia,
the evil leader
of the Vile Tribe. Ghaleon congratulates them and wishes to accompany Alex
back to Burg
so that he can visit an old friend, the White Dragon. While on the way to
Burg Alex
realizes only too late that Ghaleon holds a terrible grudge against Althena
(the goddess of
light) and her four dragons and that he's out to conquer the world .
Ghaleon strikes the
white dragon with a mortal blow on first site and runs off. As the dragon
dies it tells Alex of
the arms of Althena, gives him the White Dragon Wings, and sets him on his
way to
becoming a Dragonmaster so that he can stop Ghaleon. When Alex returns to
Burg, he
discovers that the Vile Tribe has taken it over, and that they have
kidnapped Luna for
some strange reason.
Alex now sets off on his quest to becoming a Dragonmaster by finding all
the Arms
of Althena. Along the way he is joined once again by Nash, Mia, and
Jessica, and a new
friend, Kyle. The group learns that Ghaleon is the 'Magic Emperor' who has
been causing
havoc in the eastern lands and recently began to terrify the western ones.
They also learn
why Luna was kidnapped by Xenobia. Luna is the goddess Althena in mortal
form, and she
was captured so that Ghaleon could corrupt her mind and use her awsome
power for
himself.
Alex, with the aid of his friends, retrieves the Arms of Althena and
becomes a
Dragonmaster. Xenobia and Ghaleon are both defeated by the group and Alex
must now
face the most difficult challenge yet. He must now face alone Luna, aka the
goddess
Althena, who is still under the spell of evil. Knowing that no sword or
spell can hurt her,
Alex defeats the evil within her with a simple memory of times past when he
and Luna sung by the lake.
