Arzak Rhapsody - Season 1 (2003)

Dawn is rising over Desert "B". Arzak discovers that his faithful Pteroid is held captive in the web of an electric Arachnoidea. At the same time, in the alleys of a carnivorous garden, a woman driving a strange vehicle answers a call. Her mission: to repair mechanisms she doesn't understand and save beings she never sees.

While trying to escape from two hungry demons, The Louff and The Rydane, Arzak is hit in mid-flight by a serpent-arrow whose venom effect is unpredictable. While The Louff is about to cook our hero who has become unconscious, the latter comes into contact with the spirit of the serpent's venom.

On certain winter nights, Desert "B" sees immense fields of carnivorous grasses reappear. Sheltered at the top of the ruins of a stone arch, Arzak accompanies with a flute tune the heartbeat of a great ape suspended in the void under the monument, trying to escape from the carnivorous fields. An image is taking form in the mind of the warrior: that of a woman at the seaside. The fate of the animal depends only on a dream.

Arzak walks the streets of a city in ruins, where there isn't a living soul to meet on the streets, not even a creature or a simple movement. Around him, everything is abandoned: skyscrapers, rusty car wrecks, empty apartments immersed in silence. The city seems deserted until the warrior hears a mysterious voice singing to an old tune of music.

Arzak goes aboard a spaceship on the orders of two aliens: Delano and Xnobol. Inside, the warrior discovers a sarcophagus containing a goddess suffering from a serious illness, and he will try to save the alien entity, the Ninth Goddess.

Arzak is resting at the Auberge des Monts Verts in the company of Perle, a very attractive young woman. But the warrior does not suspect that his companion is acting on behalf of a power-hungry alien. This entity is known as the King, and he is assisted by the Souricier - his own devoted mad scientist. Is there a bounty on Arzak's head? Arzak will soon have to figure it out.

Without news of the Guardian of the Cloud Tower whom he has for mission to protect, Arzak decides to go there. Once inside, he discovers that time has stood still. Even Baluga, the janitor robot, broke down. But where has the Keeper of the Tower gone? Is she still alive? Is the tower occupied by an invisible and nefarious force?

Noshka, the Secret Soul of Desert "B", has been kidnapped by a monstrous Djinn. Arzak is instructed by Governor Block to find her using a magic key allowing him to open several parallel dimensions. The only thing is: the key is hanging on the sleeping monster's neck. Will Arzak manage to deliver Noshka from the clutches of the monster?

Searching for an exit from an inextricable maze in which he is a prisoner, Arzak comes face to face with several dangerous creatures. Fortunately, the last of the Ptero-warriors still wields the sword well. The fighting continues until Arzak is seriously injured. Are invisible forces controlling our hero?

Flying over the fields of carnivorous grasses on a rainy night, Arzak seeks shelter. A construction, in the shape of a broken stone ring, suddenly appears in the midst of the killing plants. Tired, Arzak decides to set up camp there. But the night is long and maybe our hero shouldn't fall asleep so easily.

Arzak wakes up with a start. He has just seen his own death in a terrible nightmare. He must seek advice from the unicorns before it is too late. Our hero soon finds himself aboard a strange vessel en route to a parallel world. Will he have a chance to change the course of his destiny?
