Vail Legaia had done it. He had rid the island of Terra Seru of the fearsome cheese monsters, Gorgon and Zalla. His search for the Golden Winged Puffsnatch had led him to the lair of these smelly freaks of nature. They were amazingly difficult to defeat being made of cheese, but they were very old cheese. If it wasn't for the Ruby-Eyed Sonara Bird he wouldn't have been able to defeat the moldy beasts. The Sonara bird was seeking the chick that the cheese monsters had stole from its colony. The cheese monsters had stolen a vast amount of treasure from all the inhabitants of the island. The chick was included in this theft. Vail had accidentally seized the chick thinking it was the Puffsnatch, but he at least earned the gratitude of the birds. The Sonara bird flew away to return the loot to the creatures of Terra, leaving a single ruby tear of gratitude as a token of appreciation for Vail. After the bird left him, Vail entered the Forest of Flames. Since it was the winter months the fires had all gone out. When Vail was halfway through the wood, Splinter, his wooden sword, glowed a bright green. The indestructible sword always glowed that color when enemies were around. Sure enough, an entire group of rocktantulas leaped toward him. Vail was faster. He had the magic coin of flight. Releasing its power with a tap from Splinter, he flew with wings in the likeness of an angel toward the treetops. The rocktantula scrawled after him but couldn't see him a moment later. Vail had slipped on the ring of power given to him from the Puffsnatch breeder. He was now as fast as an out of control skier, strong as a couple thousand oxen, and as invisible as a...very invisible thing. The gigantic spiders never knew what hit them.
