Now the deminion of evil grows even stronger. Lord Arkaine invaded the last haven in Verdante, The Verdante Forest. His minions slaughter everyone, only the ones who are strong enough survive. A boy Crono, has always lived peacefully between the  oak trees, and cranberry bushes of the Verdante Forest. One night the town elder Rigel gets kidnapped by Lord Arkaine's henchmen, they demand the immediate fall of the Verdante Forest, everyone who has survived should give up their resistance, or else Rigel will die a painfull death.
