The Animated Version.
In the land of Odyssia, Prince Nestor goes to seek Quest who was banished years ago by Nestor's mother for failing to properly protect the Prince. Prince Nestor wants Quest's help in rescuing his parents who have been captured and are being held captive by unknown beings. Quest refuses to help Nestor even though he is shown a letter that would have repealed Quest's exile. The Prince places an "allegiance spell" on Quest which forces him to grudgingly obey the Prince. Later they meet up with Graer, a griffin, who joins them in order to rescue, Gatling the cyborg who is in prison. They discover that the prison is actually a giant monster and they aid Gatling in his escape. The group decides to look for the "Dagger of Way", a techno creature. Known as "Way" to the others, the creature eventually aids the group in their search. Finally, they are joined by a young wizard female named Anna who understands "Way"'s unique way of speaking. The group wants to find the five swords which will form the Shadow Soul Sword enabling them to find and free Nestor's parents. They are pursued by Lord Spite and General Ogun who hamper their search.
