PLOT In ancient times, the Words Worth tablet - a huge Monolith slab inscribed with the secrets of the universe - was sundered by dark forces. The Tribes of Light (which consists of humans living on the world's surface) and Shadow (mostly part humans, part animals or monsters living in an underground city) blame each other for the tablet's destruction and have been waging a merciless war for centuries. While directing his forces against the most recent incursions of the Light army, the current king of the Shadow tribe, Wortoshika (which could be a corruption of the term 'Wordseeker') is also painstakingly reassembling the Words Worth tablet to find out its secret. He also actively prevents Prince Astral, his son, from becoming a licensed swordsman because of a prophecy that only one who is of both Light and Shadow may read the words on the tablet. Astral, who is unaware of his father's plans, meanwhile both longs for Sharon, his beautiful fiancee, and a swordsman's license which would prove his worth to her. With the help of Nina, he obtains one illegally; but before he can join the battle against the Light tribe forcs and their king Fabris, he has also his first of many sexual experiences: first with Maria, who has been taken prisoner and whom he naively rapes, and then with Nina, who had always harbored a secret crush on him. Eventually arriving on the battlefield, Astral sees Fabris being about to rape Sharon. He races to her rescue and manages to wound Fabris severely. But then Maria, who had managed to free herself, casts a powerful spell at Astral in revenge, inadvertently blasting him onto the surface and 20 years into the future, and obliterating his memory. After many wanderings, Astral finally reaches civilization (i.e. the tribe of Light) and is immediately believed to be Pollux , a famous Light swordsman who had mysteriously disappeared many years ago and to whom Astral bears a striking resemblance. Finally, he is taken in by King Fabris, who recognizes both his attacker and his value in his schemes against the Shadow people and successfully tricks Astral into opening the sealed gateway between the Light and Shadow realms. Meanwhile, Wortoshika has nearly completed the tablet, much to the disconcertion of his advisor, Tessio. As it turns out, both Tessio and his Light counterpart, Menza, are two parts of a monstrous entity which is responsible for destroying the Words Worth tablet in the first place. Determined to prevent the completion of the task, they attack Wortoshika in the cavern where he stores the tablet. In the meanwhile, Astral confronts Sharon in combat and slowly regains his memory. Together with her and a few other allies, including Nina and her daughter Ariadne, he reaches the secret cave. Fabris and his men also arrive for battle, but instead all end up allied against the dark entity, and a dying Wortoshika reveals Astral's origin: he was kidnapped from the Light tribe as a baby - but it is not clearly revealed whether he really is the son of Pollux , and what happened to his father -, in order to fulfil the prophecy with the expected child from Astral's and Sharon's union. However, it is Ariadne - who, as Astral's and Nina's daughter, fulfills the terms - who manages to complete the tablet and read the words, which reveals both tribes to be originally of one people, thus ending the conflict and uniting both worlds. |
