Story
Your home world of Endorius was captured by the demons led by Baal, the archdemon, who was defeated in the first part by Bill Gilbert. The great knight himself flew away in search of the world of Teany. And, to bring him back, the supreme magician of the kingdom of Darion wants to destroy the ancient artifact, the Clock of Time, and go to Tehan himself. But Amelie - the main character and daughter of King Mark Leonard - herself breaks the artifact and is transferred to another world. Arriving there, she learns that Bill Gilbert did not appear here, and to go back, she needed to collect all eight stones of Teany to get an opportunity to find out from the local gods where Bill Gilbert is located.
Some of the stones are still in the temples of the same name (hope, joy, love and sadness), the other four stones belonged to the emperor of the people on Teane. However, the adviser to the emperor Demenion, with the help of his priest Ktah and the elf magician Zilgadis, organizes a coup, as a result of which the emperor dies, but his only heir Friedrich survives and runs along with one stone to Debir Island, where Amelie falls. Demenion shares the other three stones between itself, Ktah and Zilgadis. The time in the home world of the princess slows down so much that the princess has time for many days to visit all parts of the world of Teany and return home in just a few moments after she left. In the final, Amelie and Bill Gilbert must rebuff Baal.

Hand dragon
Whelp - faithful companion of Princess Amelie. It can be used in combat once per round, by selecting one of the available skills, provided that the princess has a sufficient level of Rage - a kind of mana equivalent. Rage accumulates gradually during the battle, as the units exchange blows: the more creatures die during the attack, the greater the increase in Rage. If the entire squad is destroyed with one strike, the Rage level immediately doubles. The better the ability chosen for the Dragon to attack, the more Rage it requires, respectively, and the pet will rest longer. It is impossible to call it during rest, the most powerful attacks may require subsequent rest for five or more rounds. However, using the “wake the dragon” spell, you can bypass this restriction and summon the helper even twice in a round. In the story, tame dragons are not simple, but the Great Dragon dragons, who can fly between worlds and communicate with the gods on an equal footing. In battles, the Dragon gains experience and develops its abilities.
Race lizards
Lizards have inhabited Tehan since ancient times. Since ancient times, they honor and observe their bloodthirsty traditions, and therefore many races do not want to have affairs with them. Warrior lizards are extremely difficult to control because they are fierce and terrible. However, anyone who can get along with these monsters will find strong allies. Gorguans, practicing bloody rituals, well-defended Brontors and Thyrexes sticking out of Choshi under the ground, spawning and strengthening the army of Gobot (blind toothed worms traveling under the ground through the battlefield) are very powerful warriors. Troops of the lizards : Gorgul, Gorguana, Gobot, Adult Gobot, Chesha, Heitrant, Brontor, Tyrex.
Super Boss
Superbosses are huge and very dangerous creatures, they occupy half the arena and are able to cope with an entire army alone. There are seven of them: the Driller robot, a huge spider, the giant toad Dersu-Kumatu, the mysterious Zilgadis, the octopus White Kraken, praiacher Ktahu and Archidemon Baal. Seeing them, the Princess Hand Dragon loses his composure and refuses to participate in the battle. Each such opponent is a tactical puzzle. Each of the super-bosses has unique abilities and a special style of fighting.
Wandering Magic
Wandering Magic is a legacy of a race of powerful magicians disappeared in immemorial times - Wanderers. She does not belong to any of the magic schools. Scrolls with mysterious spells were discovered in the study of the only surviving structure of the mysterious race - the Wanderer's Tower.
The best magicians could not unravel the secret of the Wanderers' magic, but only learned to copy the scrolls with spells, so they are quite rare, and they are very expensive. None of the Wandering spells can be learned or improved. You can use Wandering Magic only on the map, but not in battle. Each spell gives the hero a certain bonus on one or several upcoming battles, for example, increases intelligence or adds a squad of high-level creatures to the army.
