Suddenly the ship is catapulted fiercely onto a mysterious floating island in the clouds and crashes to its doom! A morbidly curious group of birdmen, inhabitants of the strange celestial island, gather about the wreckage in hushed curiosity. A heart-rending cry from the baby boy pierces the deathly silence. The weird birdmen take the lone survivor of the disaster to their king's castle...On his twentieth birthday, the red-haired human is called before the king again. With the aid of the wings we made you, you shall go back to your people and devote your life to eradicating the elements that make for unhappiness in their world.
