When Tasuna was a child, his father instructed him to seek out his former apprentice if he ever wanted to become a skilled metal engraver. Sadly, Tasuna was sold into slavery and was forced to endure sexual exploitation. Determined to learn the craft, Tasuna embarks on a grueling journey to find his father's apprentice in the mountains. Exhausted and drained, Tasuna eventually collapses and wakes up in a cave where he meets Azeri, a stranger. As he gets to know Azeri, Tasuna realizes that he has finally found the person he's been searching for and humbly asks for his tutelage in learning the craft.
