Community Score

9.2 Superb
First aired: 10/9/1999    Production Code: 101

Lone warrior Dar senses the presence of his long-lost love Kyra, who has been kidnapped and enslaved by the brutal Terron warriors. Gathering up his two ferret friends, Kodo and Podo, he takes off to rescue her. Dar arrives at a Terron camp and finds prisoners, including Kyra. The prisoners are being pushed into a ring to be mauled to death by tigers. Tao is next, but when the tiger, Ruh, is released, he attacks the Terron guards instead of Tao. But Ruh is stopped by a Terron net. Dar attacks, but is outnumbered by the Terrons. Dar and Ruh make eye contact and a connection is made. Dar manages to release the ferocious beast and Ruh tears into the Terrons. The evil King Zad, leader of the Terrons, rounds up his troops and escapes with Kyra and the remaining prisoners, leaving Dar, Tao and Ruh behind. After seeing the connection Dar made with Ruh, Tao realizes that Dar is the BeastMaster, the last surviving male of the Sula tribe, who has the ability to communicate telepathically with animals. Meanwhile, the powerful and seductive Sorceress observes the two in her crystal water bowl. She tells her mentor, The Ancient One, that she wants to possess Dar's power to communicate with animals. The only way for her to obtain Dar's knowledge is to bring him to her world. Later that day, Dar and Tao come across a group of beautiful women swimming in a lake. Dar recognizes one of the ladies as a Terron prisoner. She tells him Kyra is inside the structure that adjoins the lake. Dar rushes off. As soon as he enters the building, the informative woman morphs into the Sorceress and the other women disappear. Inside, Dar is attacked by the Chimera, a ferocious monster made of fire and lava. The Chimera knocks Dar unconscious, sets the structure on fire, and disappears. Sensing that Dar is in danger, Ruh enters the building, wakes him, and the two escape before the structure implodes. Tao realizes this was all an illusion arranged by the Sorceress. Not knowing what the Sorceress wants, Dar and Tao press on to find Kyra with the help of Sharak, a majestic eagle who leads the way. Dar is able to see from Sharak's point of view as he soars through the sky, so they easily find the new Terron camp. Dar locates Kyra's tent, but she is trapped in a cage made of crystal cylinders filled with a smoky liquid. Before she can warn him, Dar touches the cage and releases a black fog that blinds him. Dar manages to escape the Terron camp, but he is forced to leave Kyra behind. Later, Tao informs Dar that the effects of the black fog are only temporary and, knowing he will return for Kyra, gives him a potion of white fog to counteract the blinding fog. Tao also gives Dar a liquid that when rubbed on the body will temporarily repel fire -- just in case the Chimera reappears. Dar returns to Kyra's tent, but his beloved is gone. The Sorceress greets Dar and tells him that she wants his powers and will stop at nothing to obtain them. She releases the black fog, but Dar counteracts it with the white fog. The Sorceress then produces a small fireball that morphs into the Chimera and she disappears. While Dar battles the Chimera, King Zad escapes with Kyra. The liquid protecting Dar from the fire begins to lose its effect and Dar slices through the molten beast, killing it. Meanwhile, Podo steals a magical talisman which holds the beautiful face of Kyra like a cameo and brings it to Dar. He and Tao return to his cave in the Mydlands and Dar vows to continue his search for Kyra.

2. Obsession  

Community Score

8.9 Great
First aired: 10/16/1999    Production Code: 102

Dar and Tao rescue a man named Akili, who is being chased by a group of savage Terron warriors. Only when they are safe does Dar learn that Akili himself is a Terron. Akili explains that he has been banished by his tribe because he fell in love with a member of King Zad's harem. His punishment is to be hunted down and killed. Akili also tells Dar that he is going to return to the Terron camp to rescue his true love. Suspicious of Akili, Tao is dismayed when Dar and Akili decide to work together. Meanwhile, two tiger cubs named Sita and Raja are playing in a jungle clearing when Sita is captured by a group of hunters led by Ishmael. Raja runs off to find Ruh. Before Ishmael gets away with Sita, Ruh comes, makes eye contact with the hunter and recognizes him as one of the men who work for Baha , the legendary slaver. Years before, Ruh killed Baha's son when he tried to capture him. Later, Dar is attacked by the evil Spiderwitch who wraps him in a deadly cocoon-like web. Akili kills the Spiderwitch and rescues Dar. They press on to the Terron camp and Dar is shocked to learn that the woman Akili loves is none other than Kyra. Outraged by the realization that they are in love with the same woman, Akili insists that only one of them can have her and they must fight to the death. The rest of the Terrons are amused by this proposition and they order Dar and Akili to commence the battle. Dar, the more formidable opponent, easily takes down Akili but can't bring himself to kill him. When Akili realizes that Dar has once again saved his life, the two attack the surrounding Terron warriors. During the mayhem, Akili suffers a serious blow. He tells Dar to find Kyra and escape. Reluctantly, Dar leaves. Meanwhile, Ruh tracks down Baha's camp and finds Sita. Determined to capture the majestic tiger and avenge his son's death, Baha sets a trap. But Ruh is too powerful. He tears off one of Baha's legs and claws his face. Ruh knows that horribly maiming this once legendary slaver and leaving him to live with his actions is a far worse fate than death. Ruh collects Sita and the two return home. Dar rushes off to find Kyra, but the Terron camp suddenly disappears. Dar is then greeted by the Sorceress, who has been observing the whole time. She tells Dar that in exchange for his power to communicate with animals, she will give him Kyra. Not wanting anything to do with the Sorceress' magic, Dar refuses. The Sorceress vanishes and Dar and Tao return to the Mydlands.
