The story begins in the forest near the village of Knight. Three young friends - Hero, Lilia and Shevar - stumble upon a shiny egg.

The trio perform a playful parody of their relatives' manners, but are blown away when it actually works!

The egg hatches to reveal a young Rathalos, a flying dragon, also known as the "King of the Sky". The three of them affectionately called him "Rasha" and took him back to the village.

A few days later, without warning, the village is plagued by a monster infected with the "black blight". They manage to drive it away, but not before it destroys the town - and leaves an indelible scar on Cheval and Lilia's hearts.

A year passes...

Cheval and Lilia both leave the village and go their own ways. The hero, though now separated from his childhood friend, teams up with the jovial Navirou and embarks on a new adventure into the world of hunters.
