Plot
On the planet Metsys, there is a medieval village and kingdom. The villagers are preparing for the celebration of Prince Ogel's 20th birthday. King Karihk speaks with Councilor Nipsoj, who on this day feels that "the prophecy" must be false.

Two workers in a field are shocked to see mysterious ships fly overhead, and they run to the castle to warn King Karihk. Aboard one of the ships, the leader, Master Drakor, is informed that the flyby has revealed large amounts of resources present on Metsys, and that the people are at a medieval level of technological advancement. They prepare to invade.

The royal family believe that the appearance of "metallic birds" prove that the prophecy is coming true. Prince Ogel asks what the prophecy is, and Councilor Nipsoj explains that on the night Ogel was born, a strange man arrived in a ship to warn them that in 20 years, men would come in metallic birds to destroy the land and enslave the population. He told them that there would only be one royal survivor who would flee Metsys, go on and great journey and return as a powerful warrior to free Metsys. Invaders are sighted, and the king orders the soldiers be readied for a battle in the morning.
