Alex is no different that any other kid his age. He has friends, three to be exact; Ramus the rotund dreamer, Nall, his constant companion (and the rumored offsring of a white dragon) and Luna, the orphan that Alex's parents took in.
Alex dreams of taking his friends on fantastic adventures like his hero, Dragonmaster Dyne. Dyne, one of the four heroes, is said to have perished under mysterious circumstances while safeguarding the Goddess Althena. A monument in his honor is erected just outside of Alex's village of Burg.
Alex visits Dyne's memorial nearly every day and dreams of the day he too will be able to go on an exciting journey. Just once, he longs to know how it feels to have that rush of adrenaline when facing off against life-threatening danger. Soon, much sooner than he can imagine, Alex will have the chance to find out...
