(you play as emu)

at what supposed to be a peaceful day in the otori kingdom, suddenly the kingdom noticed a huge dragon coming down with the evil sorcerer, but what they mainly noticed is that the princess was with him.. crying and scared he looked at her parents who were the king and queen, and at the knight who's his enemy named tsukasa, and laughed his evil laugh

"HAHAHA! if you want this little princess of yours back, you should get the money ready by three weeks, or else, I'll kill her."

with that, he went away with the princess to his castle where he lived with his dragons
