Copyright: © 1990 Kadokawa Video (Japan), 1995 US Manga Corp / Software Sculptors (North America) Based on the novels by: Yasuda Hitoshi and Mizuno Ryo Executive Producer: Kadokawa Tsuguhiko Producers: Tamiya Takeshi, Ikeda Kensho, Maruyama Masao Screenplay: Mami Watanabe Director: Yamada Katsuhisa Character design: Izubuchi Yutaka English version producer: John O'Donnell Translator: Neil Nadelman Recognising that Parn's skills need some sharpening, Ghim takes it upon himself to train Parn in swordsmanship. After a rather humiliating lesson, Parn wanders off into the forest to take his frustrations out on some defenseless (and unarmed!) trees. Before Parn is able to strike a blow at a tree and harm the fairies that live within, Deedlit, the beautiful High Elf appears to prevent the damage. A chance encounter with a Dark Elf and his party of Kobolds once again forces Parn to test his skill with the sword -- only to discover that Deedlit is as skilled with her sword as she is beautiful. Outnumbered by the Kobolds, the heroes seem to face insurmountable odds when the arrival of Alanian soldiers from the nearby castle of Myce frighten away the would-be attackers. Just when things start looking up for Parn's group, they find themselves in jail, accused as being spies. The jail cell holds a surprise for the party in the form of Woodchuck, a cynical thief. Captain Jebra of the Mycean forces recognises that Parn's group were mistakenly detained, and releases them. After a hearty meal, Captain Jebra invites Parn to spar with him. Finding Parn to be inexperienced, but having some promise, the Captain invites Parn to join and train with his army. We also get to see the forces that our heroes are up against -- King Beld and the huge Marmo forces he has assembled. Karla informs Ashram, the Dark Knight, that strangers have been seen near Myce, and orders him to level the fortress. With assistance from the Sorceror Wagnard, they attack and burn Myce to the ground.
