Flavio is a "Panday" (or blacksmith) whose village and land are under the reign of the tyrant Lizardo. Flavio is forced to brand innocent children every night with Lizardo's mark by the head of Lizardo's men in the village, Pilo. One day, Flavio's predecessor as Panday, Tata Temyong finds the legendary "Black Book" that supposedly tells how Lizardo can be defeated. Later that night a meteorite lands in a nearby field. Based on a prophecy in the Black Book, Flavio and Tata Temyong then use the meteorite and an old bell to create a magic dagger, the only weapon that can defeat Lizardo. After finishing the weapon Flavio hunts down Lizardo's men in the village, he brands them before setting off with Tata Temyong, his young apprentice Lando, and Monica, a woman he had saved from Lizardo's men, to free the land. On their way to Lizardo, they come across a seaside hut that is home to one of Lizardo's henchmen, a wizard. Flavio defeats him, but soon afterward they are attacked by siyokoy (mermen) that are driven away when Flavio's dagger hums, and when Pilo arrives seeking revenge against Flavio, they attack him and his men instead. Later Flavio and his companions are attacked by zombies in a forest. Tata Temyong and Monica end up captured and brought to Lizardo's fortress by his men. Elsewhere Lando finds refuge in a hut haunted by an vampire, and after a chase, Flavio finds and defeats it with his dagger. Lizardo later challenges Flavio to a duel, and brings Tata Temyong, Monica, and all his slaves to witness the battle. He first orders his men to attack Flavio, who, though vastly outnumbered, defeats them after his dagger transforms into a sword. Lizardo then faces Flavio himself, only to rapidly age every time Flavio hits him. Flavio ends the duel by stabbing Lizardo in the chest, who dies and fades away. With Lizardo defeated, Flavio leads his companions and the former slaves to freedom. Edit Translation
