Tym's Magical Adventure

Tym is a young apprentice wizard. He lives in a place called Dun Indewood, which is part of Leafy Bottom. Tym dreams of becoming a really great magician one day.

One day, Tym meets a mysterious person known as the Dreamwalker. From the Dreamwalker, Tym learns an amazing secret. He discovers how to travel super fast! This new skill makes him a "Whizzard!"

But Tym's new super-speed skill causes some big problems. It accidentally puts the lovely Lady Zamarind into a deep sleep, like a coma. Now, Tym must go on a long journey. He has to travel far across the dangerous Dark Forest to find a way to save Lady Zamarind. On his journey, Tym also starts to learn about his own special future. He discovers what he is truly meant to do.
