Plot

Pandoy was chosen to fight the dark horde in the absence of Flavio, a famed Panday (). He is said to have forged a similar magic dagger turning sword from the remnants of Flavio's original meteorite gemstone metal, where host Ka- Elias showed a path to Santa Monica. During the aftermath of Flavio's last duel against Lizardo, the prince of darkness, Panday went on a warrior's pilgrimage in search of destroying the remaining relics that could resurrect Lizardo, leaving the remaining dark forces unrivaled. Flavio's journey was concealed and it was uncertain when he could return under the ''"Itim na Aklat"'' (). Pandoy lives in the grand stable together with his longtime friend Kadyo. He is madly in love with Cristina, daughter of the aristocratic Lord or "Don" of the Grand stable.
