Tariq and his friends Livia and Artos have set sail to New Ethrial on a quest to find the Crocodile's Tear, a Spiritstone stolen centuries ago. Deep in the forest, Tariq encounters an old enemy and makes a powerful new friend - Imex, a shapeshifting seer. Imex takes Tariq to the Temple of Beasts, where he learns how to become different animals - from a panther to an eagle.
