Tim is nervous since he never even seen any of the noble children and would rather stay home and play video games. Then, Princess Laura comes in to say hello to her noble peers. This made him really scared since she was the King's daughter and had to be on his best behaever.

Then all of sudden, a big thud hit the castle in the form of Midbus a boar warrior from a rival kingdom and with him came his master Ryuske, a young count who came for Laura after she refused to marry him. Then suddenly, the castle began to lift up from the ground by a giant airship, the Diablo. Ryuske then announces that he will marry her by force, whether she liked it or not. Tim was able to muster up enough courage to fight him but instead gets thrown out the window by Midbus.

The scene then goes to the woods where an unconcions Tim lies. Suddenly, sprinkles of stardust began to rain down and take form of the Seven Sages, mystical beings from a place called Star Haven. They heal the wounded rabbit and tell him to meet them at the Star Summit. Tim then wakes up in a mysterious house where he meets Bucky, a bright young hamster who dreams of seeing the world. He tells Tim that he is in the town of Timberdale and that he was found unconcions. Tim tells Bucky the last thing he remebered  which shocked him. The young hamster then tells the rabbit to go see his grandpa, the village elder.

Unfortunately, Grandpa fell down a ravine and so did Tim. He then finds Grandpa and he gives him a magic sword called Calabrus. They make it back to Timberdale and point him to the direction of Castletown and suggest Bucky go with him which made Bucky so excited since he wants to see the world. Tim tells Bucky they should go to the Star Summit and tells him the whole story.

They arrive to the summit where they encounter projections of the Sages who tell them that they are imprisoned by Ryuske and his followers. They were guardians of the Star Shard, a wish granting crystal that charges its user with energized power. They tell the boys they are scattered throughout Grimoire and chose Tim to save them. Tim refused at first but Bucky tells him to be brave and he accepts. With that out of the way, Lumen, the Sage of Light tells the boys to find him in the Old Citadel.

Meanwhile back at the castle, Laura is being kept in her room where she meets Twinkle, a star spirit. Twinkle was called to Laura by her wish. The two decide to get information about the Sages. They discover the location of the Old Citadel and learn that Ryuske has hired a gang of thugs called the Turtle Rangers to protect the Sage of Light.
