As Kam and Simon walked deeper into the Dragon Clan’s territory they heard the booming of a rolling thunder. The wind began gusting in every direction, increasing in magnitude and then all went calm. The sky grew dark as a thunder of dragons swooped down from the clouds surrounding Kam and Simon. The largest dragon stood with its wings spread, “You have come far enough human.
You have journeyed further than any of the other clans ever dared to, for this I will commend your bravery and allow you to speak your purpose.” Kam looked around at the legendary Dragon Clan surrounding them. These were the ones who taught the other clans how to harness the elements and instructed them in the ways of mana. Kam knew if his plan failed there would be no chance of them walking out alive. He inhaled deeply, “We challenge you for title of chieftain and leadership of your clan!” Simon couldn’t tell if the dragons were laughing or cursing them in their ancient language.
“You foolish little whelps, here we thought after all these years of watching the clans fail to journey this far in search of our teaching we finally had new apprentices. We will never accept your challenge. Now be gone or else you will be fed to our young.” Kam turned to the other dragons watching, “We didn’t come this far to learn what we already know“, and Kam released a deep sigh and stretched his hand towards the sky. The sky turned black and the gentle breeze turned into vicious vortex around the dragons.
The winds grew so strong even the dragon chieftain had to brace himself. While he was channeling the elemental force in his right hand, Kam began channeling arcane magic into the earth. As Kam channeled his arcane magic into the earth a 30-foot golem rose. With his entire right arm now shining with power Kam slammed his fist into the ground, sending a bolt of thunder crashing down into the arcane golem. Dumbfounded the dragons roared out, “Blasphemy! It’s an abomination! Impossible!” The dragon chief stepped forward, “Human, how were you able to enhance the power of arcana with the elemental force?! In all our teaching never have we been able to tap into both at the same time.”
Kam and Simon stepped in front of the elemental-arcane golem, “How doesn’t matter. Do you accept our challenge?” Gathering its composure the dragon chief responded, “As impressive of a feat that was, we still will not accept your challenge. Leave these lands and never return.” Kam turned to the dragons, “I thought the dragon clansmen were proud warriors and never retreated from a challenge. Maybe all of those legends were just lies covering the truth, that you all are just overgrown lizards.”
With his eyes wide Simon turned to Kam, “Are you sure you should be antagonizing them like this? I’m normally down for a fight against odds and everything, but THESE ARE DRAGONS WE’RE DEALING WITH!” Kam looked back over his shoulder to Simon, “Relax Simon I got this.” Kam locked eyes with the dragon chieftain, “Their laws prevent them from harming anyone from another clan outside of a challenge. Isn’t that right Chief?”
The dragon chief’s eyes grew wide and it began trembling with rage, “HOW DARE YOU MOCK US CHILD?!” The dragons’ snapped and cracked their tails against the floor, splitting the earth beneath them. “Do you accept our challenge then or do you fear us?” “You insufferable, clawless mortals do you truly think WE would fear such a frail being such as yourselves?!
Only challenges spoken in the ancient tongue will be accepted! And seeing that you are not our kin you will never be able to truly challenge us. NOW BE GONE!” Kam smirked with a villainous grin, “So that’s all it takes?” Kam shouted the challenge again, but this time in the ancient draconic language known only to the dragons. “H-how?!
Where did you learn our tongue?”
“DO YOU ACCEPT?!”
“…Yes, we accept your challenge young ones.”
]]>You got this, there’s nobody else I’d trust to do this but you.” Simon patted Kam on the shoulder as he made his way to the arena. Stopping at the entrance Simon turned to back to Kam, “I really gotta stop letting you talk me into this stuff”, Simon chuckled as he walked into the blinding light where he stood face to face with the Dragon Clan Chieftain, Glaezan. Glaezan, towering over Kam and Simon by twenty feet stooped down to Simon, “I don’t know how you two learned to speak our tongue, but you will soon come to regret it.”
Time seemed to stop as Simon loosened his muscles. Simon felt the weight of what was riding on his shoulders with every step he took towards the center of the arena “Look forward. Don’t think or look at the hundred other dragon clansmen watching. You just gotta get this big guy to surrender or else he’s going to eat you and probably set Kam on fire for that little stunt Kam pulled earlier.” Simon shook his head, “Come on Simon! Focus! Kam doesn’t take risks he knows he can’t win.”
Simon looked up at the Dragon Chieftain, “How we learned it doesn’t matter, all that matters is that by the end of day you will bow before me as the new chief.” Infuriated Glaezan swung at Simon with his massive tail, smashing the pillars and statues around the arena before slamming into Simon. As the dust settled Simon stood tall with blood trickling over his eye and down his neck to his arms, which were wrapped around Glaezan’s tail.
Simon chuckled as the dragons watching roared out in shock. “My turn”, Simon mumbled. He tightened his grip, squeezing the dragon’s scaly tail as he began to swing the dragon chief around the arena slowly picking up speed before throwing him into the pillars of the arena. Glaezan stumbled to his feet, still in shock from being thrown across the arena by such a tiny foe. “In all my years of being Dragon Chieftain never have I met such a worthy opponent.
Little one as a sign of respect to your strength I shall come at you with my full strength.” Glaezan began brimming with light until his whole body was illuminated. The dragon chieftain began to shrink into the form of a 12-foot anthromorphic dragonkin. “Worry not little one, I’m not giving you a handicap but rather showing you my full strength in this condensed form.”
Simon wiped the blood from his brow, “Thank you for your sign of respect, but that still isn’t going to change the outcome of this match.” Simon and Glaezan both chuckled, “Oh, is that so human? Then show me your resolve!” Simon cracked a grin, “Gladly.” Simon and Glaezan wasted no time before clashing with each other in the center of the arena. The two fighters matched each other blow for blow, with each hit shaking the arena.
Stumbling back to catch his breath Simon slipped, creating an opportunity for Glaezan to wrap his tail around Simon. With his arms pinned down by Glaezan’s tail, Simon was defenseless as Glaezan unleashed a barrage of attacks. After turning Simon into a human punching bag Glaezan spun around and launched Simon into the pillars at the other side of the arena.
Seeing Simon’s broken body under a mountain of rubble Glaezan was assured of his victory and turned towards Kam, “I warned you but just like mortals, you rush to your deaths in seek of hope.” Simon dug his feet into the ground, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, letting it fill his body before exhaling with his head turned towards the sky. The dirt at his feet began blowing around him, gradually developing into a vortex.
Simon lowered his head until he locked eyes with Kam, who stood across the arena, looking as shocked as the rest of the dragons watching the vortex around Simon begin to glow with brilliant hues of amber and gold. “Guessing this wasn’t part of your calculations, huh, Kam” Simon chuckled, “Now where were we, Chieftain?” Glaezan shook with terror before he charged towards Simon with another flurry of attacks that hit only air.
Simon retaliated with a series of combos, each of which left Glaezan gasping as the air left his body. Staggering and breathing heavily, Glaezan managed to stay on his feet but Simon knew he was at his limits. “It ends here, Chief!” Simon shouted as his fist began glowing like a hunk of red-hot ore. Glaezan tried bracing himself, but it was of no use. Simon’s punch broke through the dragon’s guard and sent him flying into the walls of the arena.
When the dust settled Simon walked over to the wall where Glaezan’s body was stuck. On the verge of losing consciousness, Glaezan pried himself from the wall and fell to his knees before Simon, “I-I submit…. Chieftain.”
]]>Kam and Simon walked side by side next to the former Dragon Chieftain, “Glaezan, as the new Chieftains we demand one thing of you, and by Dragon law you cannot lie to your Chieftain.” Glaezan nodded, “This is correct. How can I be of service Chieftains?” Kam and Simon looked at each other, “Who is Yoh?”
Shocked, Glaezan came to a complete stop, “Warchief, Simon the Conqueror, why do you ask? You and Chieftain Kam the Tactician are strong enough to go and do as you please.
The two of you could live comfortably amongst the people of SclObonia as well as with us here. Why do you ask this?” Glaezan bowed his head and quickly added, “Forgive my bluntness and know that I am not withholding truths, but first I must know your hearts before I can tell you, my tiny Chieftains.” Simon turned to the dragon, “Yes, we could live comfortably but we know we don’t fit in. We know we make other clans uncomfortable because we lack fur, claws, and tails.” Kam interceded, “And the only other person we’ve come to realize didn’t fit in was Yoh.
Although we don’t know much about Yoh, we believe he may be the key to finding out this “truth” everyone here whispers about.” Glaezan nodded in acceptance of their answers, “Understood, climb onto my back. There is something I must show you.” Kam and Simon did as Glaezan instructed them. As the two settled on Glaezan’s back, he flapped his mighty wings and with one powerful leap they took off. Glaezan flew towards the peak of the mountain. Pausing above the peak of the mountain Glaezan turns towards his Chieftains, “Hold on tight and just trust me. I will allow no harm to come to you.” Not knowing what to expect Kam and Simon looked at each other, nodded, “Okay” they replied. Glaezan tucked his massive wings and began to dive towards the mountain peak.
Bracing themselves for impact Kam and Simon gripped onto Glaezan’s scales with all their might, but were beyond relieved when the mountain peak they expected to crash into turned out to be a hologram mountain top. Below Kam noticed there was a small clearing where a massive tree stood next to a well-kept shack. When Glaezan landed he made sure he didn’t disturb a single leaf on the tree. Confused and exploding with questions Kam and Simon turned to Glaezan, but before they could get a word out Glaezan shook his head “I cannot answer the questions in your head little Chieftains. Go into the house and all will be answered.”
Although annoyed at all the secrecy Kam and Simon knew Glaezan must have his reasons, so they walked up to the shack. The two looked at each other one last time and only nodded, but before they could knock on the door, it swung open and there he stood. He was at least a foot or two taller than Simon, and at first glance they assumed he was a member of the monkey clan, but there was something different about him. “Welcome Kam and Simon.
I’m glad you finally made it, there’s so much we need to talk about.” The two stood there speechless, “Oh right where are my manners. Hi, I’m Yoh. I’ve been waiting for you.”

One thousand feet above the meadows of SclObonia, a bank of blood thirsty and starving wyverns circle above the outskirts of Jungle Village. Holding on to the back spikes of the alpha wyvern leading the bank, Simon digs into his pack and pulls out a slingshot and a couple balls of wire. “Man, I hope Kam was right about this”, Simon murmurs as he ties the balls of wire to a few barbed-bulbs. Slowing his breath, Simon loads the sling and fires a bulb at each of the wyverns. Extremely agitated, the bank of wyverns begins diving down to the surface. Simon quickly grabs the detonator from his pack. “Here goes nothing”, he yells as he flips the switch. A high pitch frequency emits from each of the bulbs, shooting bolts of electricity down the wires electrocuting the bank of wyverns. Simon glances back and sees the heap of freshly barbecued wyverns plummet to their death. “Alright big guy it’s your turn now”, Simon shouts as he twirls his greatsword in the air before plunging it into the wyvern’s spinal cord. Simon leaps from the lifeless wyvern as it crashes to the ground and shatters into pixels, “Sweet! That makes 22 dire boars, 9 wyverns and 3 cockatrices. After I turn this stuff in I should definitely have enough XP to level up.”
Walking back into town with a pack full of dire boar tusks and wyvern claws, Simon notices a crowd causing a commotion near the inn. Curious, Simon strolled over and was shocked to see a member of the Tiger Clan and whelps from the Dragon Clan being pelted with fruits and stones. Instinctively, Simon dropped his pack of trophies and jumped in front of the growing mob, “What are you all doing?! These are children!”. Simon stood with his arms spread wide. “But they’re outsiders”, someone from the crowd responded, “Yeah they don’t belong here in Jungle Village.” Another voice cried out, “Why don’t you go back to your own clans?" Simon shook with rage. “Have you forgotten that I’m an outsider as well? Or does risking my life day in and day out to keep these beasts from wreaking havoc on your villages make you look past my lack of fur, claws, and scales”, Simon shouted, waving his bag of trophies at the villagers. Ashamed, the angered citizens averted their eyes to avoid Simon’s gaze and began leaving the scene.
As the last few stragglers left Simon turned to the Tiger clansman, as she seemed to be the eldest of the group, “I’m sorry about that, the citizens around here haven’t had much experience with other clans. Are you their guardian?” Simon gestured towards the three young Dragons. “Thank you stranger. I am A’Rie, this is Taizin, Amonz, and Azhon. I found them wandering the sewers of my clan’s territory and have watched over them ever since.” Feeling pity for them Simon handed his pack of trophies to A’Rie, “Here take this. Turn these in to the innkeeper. She’ll pay you the reward for the trophies and give you a room to rest. It’ll also give you some leverage with the locals when they hear you four saved them from the wyverns.” Shocked at the stranger’s generous act, “Thank you! H-how can I ever repay you?” A’Rie asked. Simon smiled and began walking back the way he came. “The name’s Simon and don’t worry about it”, Simon shouted, waving them off with his back turned.
“I thought things would be different here, but I guess some things are the same wherever you go” Simon muttered to himself. “Man, it’s going to take forever to farm all those claws and tusks again. Hopefully Kam had better luck with his quests.” As Simon reached the city gates, the three dragonlings caught up to him and handed him an ocarina in the shape of a dragon’s tooth, “This is for you. It is the only thing we have from the Dragon clan, but we’re Tiger clansmen now.” Touched by their appreciation, Simon used some of the leftover wire he had and fixed the ocarina into a necklace so he’d never lose it.

Kam's Data log 271: I was so close to a breakthrough today. I feel myself growing stronger every day.
Kam's Data log 332: After almost destroying the lab a couple of times I can now channel the elements with less fatigue than before. I’ve developed a sensor to determine how much of the elemental force I can harness before complete failure kicks in.
Kam's Data log 364: I’ve been holding my arcana shield for 3 hours now and after weeks of trials I can finally generate it without incantations; now I need to find a way to do it on a subconscious level. If I’m to go on my search to find the artifact I must prepare for every threat possible, no matter how unlikely it seems.
Kam's Data log 397: I’ve mastered the art of channeling the elemental force through my hands and can now perform spells of the arcana through thought. I’m finally ready to embark on my quest; I’ve pinpointed the ruins of Drazlow. I should be back before Simon finishes his mission to defend the Jungle Village.
Kam's Data log 399: I found it! After all this time I finally found it, the Codex of Amingaar. I’ll have to do some restoration spells on it though, the symbols got a little scuffed up during my encounter with those bandits from the Boar Clan. I told them I was only there to conduct research on the ruins. The five of them began circling me and at that point I realized there was only one way out. I activated my arcana shield and offered them one last out. I told them we could avoid this altercation and part ways amicably, but the simpletons somehow took my peace offering as a sign of disrespect. They said I thought I was better than them just because I knew a couple fancy spells and don’t take mud baths. The next thing I know, the bandit leader charged towards me shouting, “SOOO-IEEEE! Let’s get ‘em boys!” and swung at me with his great-axe, but was only left dumbfounded when his mighty axe shattered against my arcana shield. Surrounded, I knew I had to act quickly but this was precisely what I had trained for. My hands instinctively began weaving the signs to channel the elemental force causing bolts of lightning to shoot down from the heavens. This threw the four remaining bandits off guard enough for me to charge up a fair amount of energy. I slammed the ground with my fist, cracking open the earth beneath the bandits sending them to a magma bath. Stumbling with fear their leader tried escaping, but I raised a wall to cut off his path, then three more to encase him in a 20-foot prison of earth and stone.
Kam's Data log 400: I’ve gone through every spell I know and I still can't open the Codex. It seems that whoever sealed the Codex of Amingaar went through some serious trouble to keep whatever is in here a secret. One way or another I will uncover the truth of this land.
]]>Struggling to get the Codex of Amingaar to open, Kam began to wonder if it was broken during his encounter with those bandits from the Pig Clan. Kam quickly shut that idea out of his head because if it was true, if the artifact he spent so long searching and preparing for had broken, Kam would lose it. Battling the urge to just give up, Kam noticed Simon was back from his mission to defend Jungle Village. “Yo Kam I’m back, didn’t get much XP this go round. How’d you do on your little research quest?” Kam turned to Simon with a look of disappointment, “Yo. It was cool until I got ambushed by some bandits. I found the Codex of Amingaar, but think it got messed up when I fought those bandits and now I’m back at square one cause this thing won’t open up.”
“Oh that sucks, but in other news check out his ocarina some dragonlings gave me! I’ve been practicing the whole way back” Simon began playing beautiful melodic notes from a dragon tooth ocarina. The ocarina’s musical melodies caused the codex to glow like a star. Kam jumped back with amazement, “Simon! How’d you do that?!” Simon looked down at his dragon-tooth ocarina, “I-I don’t know. I just started playing some notes and boom your broken toy starts spinning and glowing.” As Simon stopped playing, the Codex dimmed back to its original state and Kam’s joyful expression quickly turns sour, “Wait what did you do? Why isn’t it glowing? Keep playing! Keep playing!”
Startled Simon fumbled with his ocarina before playing again. As the room filled with the blissful melodies from Simon’s ocarina, the Codex began lighting up again. As the music swirled about Kam’s lab the Codex began humming as it made several jerking and twisting motions before shooting beams of light onto the walls. Kam’s mouth fell open as he jumped for joy, “YES! THIS IS IT! The ancient text! The forgotten languages! They’re all here!” Kam ran and gave Simon the biggest bear hug, “Simon you genius! I don’t know how but you always manage to save the day!” Kam still brimming with joy, “Where’d you even get the skills to play that?” Simon just grinned and shrugged, “It’s what I do.”
]]>
It had only been a couple of hours since Kam split up from Simon and walked down the tunnel led by the tutorial robot, Tutoribot, and Kam had already broken the speed record on all of the training simulations. After he mastered the fundamental attacks and spells, Kam began reading all of the guidebooks, tutorials, and any other form of information Tutoribot had. While browsing through the ancient textbooks of SclObonia’s history Kam noticed that there’s an unnamed hero throughout all the books. “Master Kam, is there anything else I can do to be of assistance today?” Kam stretches out as he lets out a drawn out yawn, “Naw I’m good Tutoribot.”
Moving back to the door to resume its post, “Very well master Kam for you are, might I say, one bad mother-lover.” Kam tilts his head in confusion, “Mother-lover?” Realizing it made a mistake Tutoribot quickly spins back around to Kam, “Oh my, it seems my parental guidance settings were activated, to deactivate them please refer to the parental guidance section in my manual.” Not wanting to read the manual Kam just laughs it off, “Don’t worry about it Tutoribot, but I was actually wondering something.” Flipping through the pages of the two books in front of him, “Who’s this unnamed hero in all these stories?” Tutoribot projects a hologram of a silhouette of a seemingly tall and muscular male, “Unfortunately we don’t have any information on the hero of legend, only that he led the 12 clans in an uprising to overthrow the government of the time for their unjust treatment of the citizens.” Kam shakes his head and scrolls back over to the silhouette of the unknown hero, “Ah figures, but I still can’t help but wonder… who is this ‘yo’?”
Upon hearing Kam’s question Tutoribot’s inner light begins to dim and its voice modulator drops to the lowest octave, “Secret phrase ‘Who is Yoh’ recognized. Activating hidden protocol 122335-Z.” Preparing himself Kam jumped up from his seat and raised the chair over his head, ready to send Tutoribot to the scrapyard. Suddenly a beam shot out of Tutoribot’s chest, displaying a hologram of the silhouetted hero. Stunned Kam drops the chair and stumbles back, “YO! It-it’s you, the dude from the books.” Kam’s mind began racing and brimming with questions, running up to the hologram he began his inquiry, “Who are you? Where am I? How do we get out?!” Surprisingly the hologram seemed to be shocked by Kam’s flurry of questions, “In order to find the way/truth, you must first find “YOUR way/truth.” Confused with even more questions and somewhat discouraged Kam leaned against the leg of the desk, “If you want answers, take these” the hologram said as Tutoribot pulled two glowing orbs from its chest, “These will assist you and Simon on your journey.” Shocked Kam took the orbs and replied, “How do you know about Simon?” Knowing his time was running out the hologram began fading, “No time to explain, GTD and save this land!”
]]>
Shaking his head Simon sighs,“Typical Kam, always taking the slow and steady route, well let’s see what’s behind this “Challenge Mode” door. The door slams shut behind Simon as he walks through. As Simon delved deeper into the cave he began to grow bored and aggravated, “uuugh this is booooring. How is this challenge mode and I haven’t done anything besides walking in this musty cave.” With all his might, Simon kicks a nearby rock and lets out a deep sigh. *Click* Simon looks back to find the source of the clicking noise and instinctively dodges a spear flying towards him. “That’s it?” Simon says unimpressed. And just as he begins to sink back into his boredom Simon hears a thunderous roar rolling throughout the cave. Simon is immediately overtaken with waves of anxiety and excitement and rushes towards the source of the monstrous roar. As Simon gets closer he can feel the cavern walls tremble as the monster cries out. As Simon reaches a clearing in the cave he feels a piercing gaze stab him in the back by a beast lying in wait. He goes to turn around but he’s too slow and is smacked across the room into a cluster of stalagmites. Slowly, Simon stands up holding his left shoulder.
The behemoth steps out of the shadows and bellows another fierce roar, shaking the cave and forcing Simon to brace himself to keep from falling from the sheer force of the monster's screams. Simon quickly looks around the room for anything he could use as a makeshift shield or weapon and finds the spear he dodged earlier lodged in the wall to his right. Simon rushes to dislodge the spear and ducks behind the stalagmites, sneaking along the edges of the cavern until he makes his way to the ledge directly behind the behemoth. “All I need is one good strike to the back of the head” Simon whispers to himself in attempts to calm his nerves. Overflowing with adrenaline and anxiety Simon sprints and leaps at the beast with an intimidating shout; however, the beast smacks Simon in midair with its tail. Simon is sent crashing to the ground, writhing in pain. Mustering up all of his strength, Simon manages to prop himself up on a nearby boulder. Looking up Simon notices the beast closing in on him before losing consciousness.
From within the dark abyss surrounding him Simon hears a man shouting, “Simon, stand up!” Simon doesn’t recognize the voice and can’t see where the voice is coming from, “Who’s there?” There is no response; rather, Simon just hears more voices echoing throughout the void. “Your journey has just begun. Stay with Kam … find the ancient ones.” In disbelief Simon questions himself, “Am I dead? Where are all the clouds and angels at? Am I really going to lose on the first level??” As Simon sinks deeper into the darkness he hears the mysterious voice once more, “You have more power within you. Stay low, move swiftly, and trust your instincts.” Suddenly a beam of light shone directly over Simon. Simon was able to make out a silhouette of the voice, “Now, I’m going to say this one time and one time only” the silhouetted figure grasped Simon by the shoulders and the dark abyss surrounding Simon dissolved away, “Gather the dr—”
Simon jerks up with new breath and sees that he’s no longer in the dark abyss, but still inside the cave with a behemoth still charging towards him! Simon manages to tumble out of the beast’s path of destruction in the nick of time. Breathing heavily Simon stands to his feet as the behemoth turns towards him before charging again. Simon notices his spear behind the behemoth and recklessly charges towards the beast head on. As the behemoth readies to pounce, Simon slides beneath it grabbing his spear and in one fluid motion slices through the tendons of the behemoth’s hind legs. The beast cried out in pain as it hobbled away. “Aw nah, you’re not getting away that easy!” Simon shouts as he hurls the spear into the back of the beast. In a fit of pain the beast whips its tail at Simon, but Simon dodges the oncoming barrage without breaking his stride. Crying out in agony the beast rears up in an attempt to stomp Simon into the bloodied ground but before it can even motion to crush Simon, he crashes into the beast’s hind legs with all his might, knocking the behemoth to the ground. With victory in sight Simon scrambles onto the beast’s back. Yanking the spear out of the back of the behemoth Simon drives the spear through the behemoth’s ocular cavity. Exhausted and victorious Simon falls back to the floor and releases a roar of triumph. Defeated, the beast begins radiating beams of light before bursting into shards of shattered pixels, leaving behind only two glowing objects.

Choosing to learn more about the world and his newfound abilities Kam followed the Tutorial robot, Tutoribot, to the training room. Within a matter of hours Kam had mastered the fundamentals of the different schools of magic and was able to commune with the elements. After perfecting his techniques Kam went through every book and scroll Tutoribot had. During his studying of SclObonia’s history Kam noticed that there was an unnamed hero throughout all the books and records. To his surprise, Kam’s search for knowledge would cause Tutoribot to activate its hidden protocol revealing a hidden message from the unnamed hero himself; however, time was a luxury the hologram hero didn’t have. In his last moments the unnamed hero gave Kam two glowing orbs and left Kam with a mission, “No time to explain, GTD and save this land!”
Simon chose the path few have ever attempted let alone complete. After wandering about the cavern for what seemed like hours Simon stumbled upon the den of a behemoth. With nothing but a spear to defend himself, Simon was tossed around like a toy before losing consciousness. While unconscious in the dark abyss of the void, Simon was visited by a mysterious stranger who told him to “Find the ancient ones. Gather the dr—“. Simon suddenly came back to life and managed to pick up on the behemoth’s attack patterns before it was too late. And with all his might Simon drove his spear through the behemoth’s ocular cavity, causing it to radiate with light before shattering into pixels, leaving behind two glowing orbs.
Spawned into an unknown land with more questions than answers, the duo were already on their respective paths to become heroes to some and legends to all. As Kam and Simon stepped out of the Cavern of Beginnings, the two saw they both had a set of glowing orbs. Brimming with questions they began informing the other on what happened, but one question stood out above all the others, who is Yoh?
