A teenage boy named Xod is transported to a magical world after finding an ancient artefact. After waking up in a foreign land, Xod is met with a group of strange people staring at him. One of the people there was an old man who seemed to recognise the him, the old man told Xod that he needs to stay and help the people of this world but he declined. The only thing Xod wanted to do was go home, the old man explained to the boy that the only way to get home was to find where their princess was being held and free her from her captives. He had no choice but to agree.

Before sending him on his way, the old man provided the boy with 2 things: a small animal called a griffin that is supposed to help him in battle and with navigation and a necklace that will supposedly be the “key” to his goal.

As he journeys through the strange land searching for the princess he encounters many trials and tribulations like fighting beasts and cutting down enemies. Eventually he encounters an enemy that he can’t beat and is left on the brink of death, as soon as the mysterious adversary is about to deal the finishing blow, the griffin unleashed a deafening scream knocking out Xod and the enemy. When Xod came to he was in a forest with no familiar surroundings. With no recollection of how he got there, Xod walked and walked trying to find his way out of the forest. After what seemed like hours of walking, Xod heard the familiar call of a bird, he looked up and was ecstatic to it was his griffin leading the way out of the forest.

Having finally making his way out of the forest Xod decided he needed to train before continuing his search for the princess. He trained hid mind body and soul by meditating, sparring and wood collecting with the griffin. The two had now been training non stop for days and it was time to rest. After resting, the two looked at the map they stole from the mysterious man leading to the evil sorcerer’s castle believing this was where the princess was being held.

upon gaining this new found power, Xod and the griffin stormed the castle eliminating anything that stood in their way. They finally found the room where the princess was being held and just as they were about to free her she disappeared. Before they had time to react, they were bombarded with a flurry of attacks so heavy each punch felt like being hit by a train. The attack finally stopped and the pair could grasp their situation. The sorcerer himself had come to stop them. Neither of them were sure they could beat him but they had to try. Punch after punch, block after block, counter after counter, they had only been fighting for a short time but Xod and griffin were battered and exhausted while the sorcerer didn’t have a scratch on him. The sorcerer had enough messing around and decided to show the pair his full power. With one blow griffin was dead instantly, seeing his friend lifeless on the floor awakened a rage deep  inside of Xod that he didn’t know was there, this rage boost gave him enough strength and power to defeat the sorcerer. After defeating the sorcerer Xod retrieved the princess and brought her home. The princess told Xod that she can get him home using her magic and that she just needed to put the location into his necklace. Xod returned home and the world was once again peaceful.
