Story
Ryu Bateson starts the game as a little boy, the son of a priest in the town of Gate. When his sister Yua Bateson goes missing, Ryu's father, priest Ganer Bateson, asks him to pick her up before she gets into trouble. Finding Ryu ultimately leads him to the wilderness outside the city, where he finds Yua standing near the head of a sleeping dragon. Ryu follows Yua’s advice and falls asleep under the dragon. When he wakes up, his family has disappeared, and no one in the city will recognize him. Later that night, a young orphan named Bow decides to rob the church. Not finding anything interesting, he offers Ryu to accompany him on his way to another city. On the way to another city, a downpour suddenly begins and Bowe offers to wait it out in the cave, but in the cave they are attacked by a monster named Barubary.
It takes 10 years. Ryu and Bow live in the town of Hometown and carry out various assignments for the Elders of the city. After the Magic hood is stolen from the house of a rich man, Bowe is falsely accused of theft and forced to flee. Lurking, Bow is forced to leave Rio for a while until he finds a real thief.
