Flavio’s village and land are under Lizardo’s reign. Flavio is forced to brand innocent children every night with Lizardo’s mark by the head of his men in Pilo. One day, Flavio’s predecessor as panday, Tata Temio, witnesses a meteorite landing and remembers a prophecy: Lizardo can only be defeated by a magic weapon. Flavio and Tata Temio then use the meteorite and an old bell to create a magic dagger. After finishing the weapon, Flavio hunts down Lizardo’s men in the village, and then on their way to meet Lizardo they come across a seaside fortress that is home to one of Lizardo’s henchmen—a wizard. Lizardo later challenges Flavio to a duel, and brings all his slaves to witness the battle. Flavio finally ends the duel by stabbing Lizardo in the chest, who dies and fades away.
