In the aftermath of the invasion of Dundee, Angus McFife flees the city on horseback, riding his horse to Glenrothes. Angus McFife arrives in the Town of Glenrothes where he encounters the Ancient Treeman that lives with the spirits of the forest. He tells him that if he wants to defeat Zargothrax he must ride North and gather 3 powerful artifacts, they are called "The Relics of Legend" and they are the Magic Dragon, the Hammer of Glory and the Amulet of Justice.
 * September 15th, 992 AD
 * September 16th, 992 AD

He tells him about the first artifact, the Hammer of Glory, which is located on the far mountains of the Scandinavian regions. On the top of the Mount Ádjit.

When the meeting between the two finished, a powerful roar has been heard through the town. The sky becomes dark and in a sudden, a storm was raging. From the darkest cloud appeared an enormous dragon with a body made of flowing lava and black stone. The Treeman ordered Angus to flee from the town and begged him to accomplish his task. With his pride shattered to pieces, Angus started to ride to the East, looking for a way to reach the Hammer. Angus arrived at the feet of the Mount Adjit where the Hammer lies. He starts climbing the mountain fighting many foes and finally arrived at the Sacred Shrine where the weapon is hidden. When he entered the shrine, he found nothing but an old, little, rusty hammer at the center of the cave, positioned on an altar made of ice. When he grabbed the hammer, a wall melt and an Enormous Yeti came out and attacked the prince.
 * September 25th, 992 AD

After a fierce battle, the hero managed to kill the beast and a mystical voice spread through the cave:

"You passed the test of Faith, Hero, here is your reward"

The rusty hammer, still in his hands, got covered by a luminescent glow and turned in an enormous white warhammer. Angus raised the hammer to the heavens above, where the gods were watching pleased.

October
Angus Mc Fife returned to the Kingdom of Fife and starts marching southwards. There he encounters a village of wizards that use a premonition to indicate the path to him.
 * October 17th, 992 AD

They tell him that the Dragon is hidden in the Shadowlands near Strathclyde, an unknown dark forest where no one ever entered that indicates the end of the realm. They gave him a small scroll with only a word on it "Throw".

They also tell him that the dragon is hidden in a massive room full of mirrors and fire.

In the middle of the forest, where spirits hissed in his mind, he discovers a door that brings to a chamber underground. There was a fire burning at the center of the room, the walls, the floor, and the ceiling were made of mirrors, creating a distorted vision of the space. There were a few objects on an altar in front of the pyre. Under the Altar, if seen from a mirror, there was only a word: "PATIENCE"
 * 1) A Crown
 * 2) A Ring full of Gems
 * 3) A Picture of a Naked Beautiful Woman
 * 4) An image of a King surrounded by treasures
 * 5) A Plate full of food
 * 6) A bowl of blood
 * 7) A fine pillow

When he moved one of the objects, the mirrors of the room materialized an image of the hell and a Deamon appeared in the middle of the fire.

Once the Deamon was slain, the hero understood the test and he sat down in front of the fire, closing his eyes.

After a few minutes, the fire is turned off and the room turns dark. Then, all the mirrors started to become white and in the middle of the room, there appeared the Magic Dragon.

Hitting the dragon had no effect, even with his powerful hammer. After some time, he saw that the dragon image was only reflected by one of the mirrors in the room. After he realized his mistake he destroyed the mirror and the dragon suffered from it. The mirrored image passed on to another mirror, now he knew how to slay the beast.

When the enormous lizard was laying on the ground, he threw the scroll onto him. The dragon had been absorbed by the scroll and, on it, appeared the image of the powerful beast and a description of his powers.

He closed the scroll and left the cave, looking upon his next task.

When he was outside the cave, the forest was even darker than before, he began to hear crying in the forest, it was the voice of the princess. A few female figures came out from the darkness and attacked him, all of them had the face of his beloved Princess.

After some hesitation, the Prince slew the false images and start crying on his knees.
