Having barely escaped the mysterious force of The Quake apparently devouring his entire town, Armoiree decided the best course of action would be to climb a mountain. Upon his ascent he happened upon an old man. Armoiree questioned the mysterious stranger on the happenings, which the old man promptly ignored in favor of getting the hell off the mountain [1]. The old man, of course, had instinct (as all old men do), and was able to tell by Armoiree's unkempt hair and stubby little arms that he was the Knight of prophecy [2].
Suddenly, with with some of the most convenient timing, a super strong Behemoth attacks the young knight! [3] Despite lacking the trademark purple fur and all around nastiness of a Behemoth, this must be the destined battle, right?
Well, unfortunately the Behemoth goes down fast. One of the staples of Final Fantasy douchebaggary, reduced to a tutorial boss.
Afterwards, the old man admits he's a senile old coot who doesn't know jack [4], but nonetheless feels that he is right about Armoiree's destiny.
And thus, with the mountains behind him all but destroyed the moment he steps off, he heads to Level One.
Err... Level Forest. [5]
