Demon's Crest - Plot

Plot

Firebrand is on a quest to collect all of the elemental crests, magical stones which preside over their respective elements (Fire, Earth, Water, Air, Time and Heaven). It is said that when all crests are combined, the Crest of Infinity will appear, allowing its holder infinite power, and the ability to conquer all realms with it. During his quest, he is crippled in a battle with the Demon Dragon in his efforts to claim the Crest of Heaven, and his nemesis Phalanx uses Firebrand's moment of weakness to attack him and steal all of his crests for himself, with the exception of the Crest of Fire which was broken into pieces in the fight and Firebrand was left with only one shard.

Having fallen back to earth in the coliseum where he fought the Dragon earlier, Firebrand is forced to destroy the incarnate undead dragon for good to survive, then go after Phalanx and reclaim the Crests. The game states that Phalanx stopped Firebrand from completing his conquest to rule over the Demon Realm, and Firebrand seemingly wants to reclaim the crests to continue this attempt to reach power, or just for revenge on Phalanx. However, during the True Ending, which the player attains upon defeating the "Dark Demon", it is stated that "realizing that his true power is not derived from the crests, Firebrand disposed of all the crests".

Famous quotes containing the word plot:

    The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific; and now the plot thickens ... with the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
    The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
    And providently Pimps for ill desires:
    The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
    Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
    To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    Morality for the novelist is expressed not so much in the choice of subject matter as in the plot of the narrative, which is perhaps why in our morally bewildered time novelists have often been timid about plot.
    Jane Rule (b. 1931)
