Ever since the incident in the forest, Ty and Doragon vow to get stronger together to protect everyone. Ty trains Doragon by instructing him to do tricks. Doragon knows how to breathe fire and fly around so he taught him to use what he's capable of carefully in battle. And Ty trains with one of the village troops at sword fighting, stealth, and hunting. It was hard but the training was worth it. Ty and Doragon bonded together during twelve years of training. They had often played together too. Grant, who was depressed ever since what happened in the forest, exiles himself from the village. No one in LIzaro has ever seen him since. With the number of years he's been gone, many villagers just blatantly assume he's dead due to him never coming back to the village.
But focusing on Ty, who is grown into a young man and skilled warrior now, is walking endlessly through the forest with his friend Doragon. Doragon hasn't gotten any bigger but he still has matured. They are searching for a rare item called, the Eclipse Scale. Ty has heard from his mother that the scale is said to be in Apra Cave. A creature called Zalfos has been hidden in its collection.
Ty looks at the map to see if they are even going the right way.
"Hmm. Where is Apra Cave? We're right around here. And if we keep going north... then left... we should be a little close to it. Do you think we're on the right track, Doragon?"- Ty.
Doragon nods and growls happily. Ty probably guessed right.
"Alright then. Let's keep traversing until we get that scale. There could be tough lizards in that cave though. So, keep your guard up."- Ty. Doragon roars in agreement.
As the map displays, Apra Cave should be almost next to the exit of the forest. Ty and Doragon follow the directions the former said earlier. North was only 100 steps until a sign tells them to go left.
"Yes! We're almost there, Doragon!"- Ty, excited.
Doragon replied with a whole-hearted roar. He can't wait to get that Eclipse Scale either. But little do they know that they are being followed by a strange person in a mask. The person also has a canine creature by his side. That one is a black and red wolf. They follow quietly behind them. Ty and Doragon finally reached Apra Cave in hopes of obtaining the scale.
"Alright! We're here, Doragon! Let's get that scale and head back to the village!"- Ty.
Before they enter the cave, however, they are stopped by a certain duo. The masked stranger with the wolf appears right in front of them.
"Huh? Who are you guys? Do you mind? We're trying to get that Eclipse Scale!"- Ty.
"Not before us. Now turn back, boy."- the stranger.
"No! If you're trying to stop us, we'll have to use force!"- Ty, getting out his sword and ready for battle. Doragon prepares himself as well.
"Hmph. Let's hope you're at least a fair challenge. Rampage, let's get rid of the brat and his pet salamander!"- the stranger.
