Story
"An evil force is upsetting the seasons in the vast mana forests, building an army of tree-like creatures and half-plant, half-animal mutants. Their plan is to introduce a mysterious, deadly fifth season. In search of winged prey, our ruthless hero Rick the fox roams the dense woods until he meets Patty the partridge. In the name of the remarkable Guardian Tree, she asks him for help and promises him gold as a reward and a magical melee crossbow as a powerful weapon to defeat evil. "Ha, I'll outsmart them! First earn the gold, then grab the crossbow, and finally swallow that pesky bird," clever Rick thinks to himself as he follows Patty into the deep woods, unaware of the epic adventures ahead of them in this thrilling furry tail of change."
