One day, you meet an old man who invites you to embark on an adventure. | |||
He tells you the legend of the two rings: the '''Ring of Chaos''', that holds great powers, and the '''Ring of Order''', whose only power is over the other ring. It is said that, in the beginning, the two rings were one. Right now, though, the Ring of Chaos possesses the sorceress Lisa, and threatens the world of Balema. | |||
The old man then manipulates reality, so that the ivory Ring of Order gets into your possession, and you are transported under the purple skies of Balema. Together with your newfound companion, the champion '''Gorn''', you have to neutralize the Ring of Chaos and save Lisa. | |||
