Amata called her grandpa quietly, but Bau understood why Amata called him that way. Bau then told Hiro that he's a skilled fighter and that he's ready to face what's out there, no matter the obstacle that he'll always overcome. They ended their discussion as Hiro headed back to his room to prepare for tomorrow's journey. Amata stood at the doorway trying to convince him to stay, but Hiro understood that Amata was only worried and that she would miss him. 

The next day, Hiro was at the exit of the Zhou to Jin kingdom, standing in front of a giant golden gate. It was a busy city and the kingdom was huge, having two main gates: one outside, leading to the exit and the other silver gate right in the city that led to the heart of the kingdom. Just as he was about to enter, he met a young boy about his age, Bruce Wee from the Ceuta tribe. He was also enrolling for the knight recruitment, so they introduced themselves to one another and walked in.

Inside the kingdom, they spotted the recruitment centre where they signed in alongside other new recruits before heading out to the main camp domain. The new recruits marched out alongside with some knights under the command of the general and captain, who rode horses.

They all arrived at the camp domain where they got to train and test their agility and combat skills. The general gave an announcement, leaving the captain in charge while he and the other knights headed to another mission.

It was training session, so the new recruits stood in an assembly line as the captain addressed them, giving them a few lectures on how to harness their han, or magic.

He went on further to explain that all living things have divine energy flow through, in and out, and the han is essentially one of the main reasons.

"The han is the basic life force of every individual, it is the manifestation of our body, spirit and soul, in other words, the han is limitless."

Some of you may be able to access your han and others not so much. Only few are able to possess both, some just magic. So shall we begin.

The captain asked for a volunteer, but none stepped in except for Hiro, who decided to give it a try. He trained with his captain as everyone watched, excited by Hiro's performance, which was still no match for the captain, though. While in their fight, the captain sensed that Hiro's han was immeasurably powerful and greater than his.

After so many months of training and use of han and magical weapons to test their strength and wit, the new recruits were finally ready, waiting for the order of their general to send words.

Five years earlier, in an unknown location, in a snowy area, Zebrokan is seen walking endlessly, getting tired and weak. It's dark and red creepy eyes are all over. Just as he was about to give up, he sights an open cave within the snowy area for shelter. His eyes are heavy, he stretches forth his hands as if he's reaching for the cave, his eyes are getting dimmed as he sees a black shadow-like figure is standing right outside the cave. Zebrokan falls to the ground helplessly.

Just as he regains consciousness, Zebrokan opens his eyes; he's been warmed by a fire, set by the shadow-like figure to keep him alive. The figure knows that Zebrokan has regained consciousness, and communicates with him.

He tells Zebrokan that he was the voice in his head and that he was the one who saved him from being executed.

"So you were the voice in my head", Zebrokan said. 

Yes, the figure answers. Zebrokan then asks why it chose him.

The figure them reveals his true plans to Zebrokan, saying he's called the samaras. The samaras explains that if Zebrokan can fuse with him as a host, he'll gain unimaginable powers ten times greater than anyone.

So Zebrokan agrees, and the samaras grabs Zebrokan's face as he possesses him by entering into his mouth. Zebrokan's eyes explode wide open, and completely black as black light bore a hole from the snowy cave into the sky, causing a massive shock wave that destroys the entire snowy area into a wasteland of horror.

And from that moment, Zebrokan was bonded with the samaras to take their revenge on Zhou to Jin kingdom and all of creation.

A few months later, Zebrokan attacks the Xylda village, home of the demi-humans. There he set an example to what will happen to all the kingdoms of the world. Zebrokan laid waste on the Xylda village and the knights who defended it.

After the defeat of the Xylda village, a messenger hawk was sent heading straight to the knight camp domain where it delivered it message that was sent by the general, informing them of the danger that is ahead.

A LETTER FROM THE GENERAL OF ZHOU TO JIN KINGDOM

The enemy we face is a dreadful one, and would stop at nothing to destroy anyone or thing that stands on its way, this enemy is known to be called Zebrokan, he's on a mission to retrieve all six Dragon Crystals and now he's heading to the Nylobab kingdom. It is left for you and the new recruiters to take matters into your own hands for the fate of the kingdom rest upon your shoulders

Signed,

General Tao Kain

The captain quickly assembled the new recruiters and headed for battle, taking the titan forest a knight unknowingly stepped on a tree branch, causing the ground to shake as the bird sounds were heard all over the place, there our heroes were encountered by giants being surrounded by them, the giants began to reveal themselves as the knights were Surrounded.

The knights battled with the giants to get to the other side. Taking the Titan's path is the quickest way to the Nylobab kingdom; one of the Giants reached out for their captain as a knight quickly pulled out an arrow aiming at the sky to cause a bright light, temporarily blinding the giants as they made their way to the other part. Getting to the bridge gap, a female giant punched the ground, causing an earthquake that split the ground in half, tearing it apart. This caused the captain to fall from his horse as he struggled to maintain balance with his sword.

Another male giant threw a big tree at them, toward the knight, who cut it in half with his magical sword. One of the knights aimed an arrow to the giant's eye, but he pulled it out, while punching the captain's horse in one smooth move. The knights successfully made their exit out of the Titan's forest as they continued their journey.

They arrived at the Xylda village mountain, where they could see the devastated waste land, hoping they could find survivors, a knight then brought the General's sword and red cloak to the captain.

Seeing this, the captain was downcast. He was at the top of the Xylda village mountain, and put his sword there, tying the general's cloak to it as one of his knees was to the ground, the other supporting it. All the knights bowed their heads in respect to the General's death.

Two and half hours to their journey they arrived at the Nylobab kingdom, where they met with the Queen, Queen Xara. The Nylobab kingdom were well respected and loyal to the Zhou to Jin kingdom. They met with the Queen in her castle as they informed her of the coming threat.

Right in her throne, there were three seats. Two seemed to be empty, and a flying Jaguar could be seen close to Queen Xara. The queen immediately gave the orders to her general. The knights in Nylobab kingdom were all females. Their culture was well respected as an example of women's power.
