Story

The scene is another world, a planet called Mer. The main character is a 17-year-old Ren, an ordinary young man living with a woman Jenna who found him in childhood. During a storm, he rescues an old man who crashed on a boat on coastal cliffs. The old man, dying, manages to tell the young man a secret: Ren is the Prince of Oktopon, and the old man (Primus) is his father, who escaped from long-term captivity at Lord Blof, the captain of the pirate ship Malstrom (The Maelstrom). Wren must save his kingdom and the entire planet of Mer from the invasion of Dark Water by finding the legendary thirteen Ruhl Treasures (the second version of the name is “Reign”). "Find Alomar ... say, Primus fled from the pirate king Blof ... Look for him in fire and darkness, Ren ... my son!" - were the last words of the old man. The young man did not believe the old man's story, mistaking him for a mentally ill. Wren told Jenna a conversation with the old man. But, to his surprise, she confirmed that the old man is not crazy, he really is Ren's father. The woman gave Rena a broken sword-key, which belonged to his father, and said that Alomar lives on the island of Galdebar Abbey. But before Ren had time to go in search, he himself got on Blof's ship. He was caught by Niddler, a winged monkey, by order of Bloof. It turns out that Bloof saw the young man save Primus, and now he wanted to know if he survived and if the old man had not told about the Treasures. Blof introduced himself to Ren, not realizing that he was Prince of Octopon, and asked if the boy knew where Primus was hiding. Wren was furious, realizing who was before him. He said he would not talk to his father's jailer. Blot guessed that the boy knew something about Rull's treasures. After 17 years of searching and futile attempts to find out information from the old man, he decides that the boy is a chance to get treasures. As soon as he escaped from the clutches of Blof, with the help of Needler, Wren went to Galdebar Abbey. The monk living in the abbey handed the prince a magic compass that points the way to Rull's treasures, and showed Ren the path to Alamar. After it turned out that Alamar was not a man, but a dragon guarding knowledge of where and how to find treasures. He showed Wren a magical record, but at that moment, the Blof pirates attack. Alamar tries to detain them so that the prince and Needler can escape, but he is defeated. Wren decides to return and join the battle, but late - Alomar died in battle. Ren and Needler only had to run. Prince Wren thinks how to find treasures. He decides to play a sketch to find a team that will look for treasures with him. In the tavern of the island of Janda Town, he finds an extraordinary, but loyal command: the Nidler monkey-bird, a former waitress, and now the sorceress Tula and the pirate Ayoz. They go in search of the Treasures of Rull to free the planet Mer from the invasion of Dark Water, stop the Lord of Darkness and revive the now forgotten kingdom of Oktopon.

Clicking it, return to the beginning of the stage. Going back, you will find a new platform. Jumping further, go upstairs. There, going to the left, you will see the entrance. Enter, activate the elixir of the jump and jump over the water. On the other side you will find a fragment of a sword.
