What does it mean to be a hero? Is it defending the innocent and battling the forces of evil? Or is it something more?Arimax Holycross has dreamed of being a hero, just like his late father, his entire thirteen years of life. However, living in the peaceful village of Edena at the end of the tenth century, he has no chance to follow in his father's footsteps. Instead, he's sent off to the fields for a rite of passage: harvesting crops with the rest of the village farmers. On his trip, he takes a shortcut through the cursed woods, meeting with a mysterious hermit who introduces him to the power of magic through an enchanted ruby, which can control the element of fire. This encounter begins the boy's journey to uncover his ultimate destiny; a destiny that will reveal to him the triumphs and heartaches of being a true hero.
