Dar meets a strange amphibious woman named Atlantia who is part of an mute ancient race. He must communicate with her and then gain her help to save Tao's life.
Dar must summon all of his skills to end the killing rampage of the world's greatest warrior Nokinja, who is secretly backed by the magic of the evil demon Ketzwayo, Curupira's sworn enemy.
Dar and a young boy, Guariba, convince the Demon Curupira to spare the lives of Guariba's tribe -- if the tribe agrees to show respect for the land and inhabitants of the rain forest.
Dar befriends inquisitive and bumbling Tao as he begins his quest to rescue his long-lost love Kyra, who has been kidnapped and enslaved by the brutal Terron warriors.
