Plot[]

In the deepest of debts and the harshed of wars, the Thara Kingdom always held together and stayed strong. One day, however, evil descended upon the entire kingdom, destroying ancient bonds and killing millions. The sacred Bond of Trust was snapped in half by the advanced warriors of the Katakambian people, raining fires of hell upon Castle Ferrx, the last refuge. The last survivors cried in grief as invaders flooded the castle, killing all inside, even the servants. However, two of King Krono's sons were outside on the frontlines, trying to keep the barbarians out. Seeing as they could do no more, they gathered the stragglers and ran for the forest, leaving their family to die.

Upon storming the castle, the Katakamba chief Chief Chach invaded the villages, killing anyone who wouldn't become slaves. It was only a few weeks before the entire Kingdom had fallen, with one exception - the Crimson Woods. Realizing their time for escape was limited, the survivors fled to the only place they could; the Perro Islands.

Throughout the story, Prince Sabel and Corbs kill off major Katakambian leaders and harness the power of the aura to restore charred lands. As they walk up the steps to Castle Ferrx, their salesman, Crabby, tries to kill them - he'd betrayed the group in order to earn himself a top position in the Katakamba government, and a life of luxury. You must battle and kill Crabby before you face Chief Chach and his right-hand warriors, leaving you damaged for the battle.

After you kill Chach, a bittersweet peace fills the kingdom, and the countryside returns to its former glory. Prince Sabel refuses to become known by another name, so while he is still the ultimate ruler of Thara, he is still called Prince Sabel.

Characters[]

Image	Name	Role	Desciption
	Prince Sabel	Playable Character	Prince Sabel is the only playable character in the game and the heir to the Thara Kingdom. He was often teased and bullied as a young child by other royal children, leading him to become shy and conservative. When his kingdom is taken over and his family slain, he must face his fears and use the power of the aura to stop the invasion and kill off the Katakambian warriors. His aura color is red, reflected by his shield Nuatalis, and his symbol is the dream symbol. This represents his pain for being kicked around and how he longed to escape it all.
	Prince Corbs	Helpful NPC	Prince Corbs is the arrogant younger sibling of Prince Sabel and one of his childhood bullies. He has always been jealous that his brother would inherit the kingdom, and has even attempted to kill him in the past in order to become king. He is forced to band with his brother to destroy the Katakambain tribes and save the remaining Thara people. His aura color is teal, and his symbol is the "X". This represents his boisterous, conceited nature as well as his short temper and anger issues.
	Crabby	Shopkeeper	Crabby is an ogre/wizard hybrid that has unknown origins. He has always been known as a shady salesperson, conning many folks out of money and cheating them to better his reputation among his "ogre relatives". Since he is not human, he cannot harness the power of the aura, and if he wants to fight he uses his cane to bounce on people's heads, similar to Cranky Kong. He sells items to Prince Sabel at "record low" prices and doesn't hesitate to give you a bad version of that item (like a Rotten Carrot when you paid for a Super Carrot). He uses magic often, but not in battle.
	Chief Chach	Main Antagonist	Chief Chach is the leader of the Katakamba tribe. Despite his appearance, Chief Chach is merely a human dressed in traditional attire and suffering from dwarfism. He is a cruel and merciless ruler, often compared to the Nazi and Spartan political parties. His aura color is hot pink, which deeply embarrasses him, and his symbol is a bloody arm. This represents death and eternal pain.

Items[]

TBA	Bue Berry	Ground, Crabby's Shack	The Beu Berry is a cheap weapon that heals you a little bit. It is great for battle, being cheap and dispensable. They can be found littering the ground from the start of the game. When Crabby opens his shack, it is available from the beginning.	200Ψ
