Episode 1: It Begins
The episode opens with Caleb infiltrating Phobos' castle, planning to raid it and steal back the weapons Phobos has stolen from the rebels. In a storeroom, Caleb notices a bow propped against the wall. "Aldarn's father made this bow," Caleb says, lifting the weapon from its resting place. Not long after, Phobos' guards notice the renegade tossing barrels down to Aldarn, who is anxiously waiting for his friend to safely complete his task. The guards attack, forcing Caleb to leap into the moat from the high tower window. A large moat monster charges Caleb, but Aldarn slays it by throwing a spear into its throat. The guards begin shooting arrows down at the heroes, and Caleb and Aldarn are forced to abandon their mission and flee. The duo is pursued by Lord Cedric and his troops, but make their escape on some hoogongs, reptilian birds that look oddly like a cross between an ostrich and a chocobo. Caleb returns Akatan's bow to Aldarn, and leaves his friend to return to the Infinite City on his own.
