Storyline:
The setting for this game is a world called Dragesta. Many years ago four crystals were found. These had extraordinary powers. Each crystal had an element, and when used they gave their user certain abilities, depending on which one being used. But using them brought deadly consequences.
Even the strongest of warriors, or the purest of hearts could resist the corruption that they brought.
Not long after their discovery the terrible happened, the users of them turned on their villages and friends. They were driven mad by the greed brought fourth from the crystals.
Eventually the crystals were taken and buried but the civilizations had already been destroyed. Slowly the villages were rebuilt.
Now the threat of the crystals is back. King Helios got his hands on the Air Crystal. King Helios is a bad enough person as it is, with the crystals we'll be destroyed again.
But he won’t get his hands on the Fire Crystal as we have it. And we have a very special person who seems to not be affected by them.
