Tien travels alone to Rajasena's palace, where the lord is hosting a party to proclaim his power. In the present, Tien makes a blood oath to avenge his family, which Chernang encourages him to fulfill, promising him to make him their new leader upon his return. At the same time, Sihadecho and his household were massacred by Lord Rajasena and a mysterious masked assassin, which Tien witnessed before escaping and being found by the slave traders. Back to the present, Tien tracks down his old slave traders and beats them down in revenge, throwing their leader to the crocodiles as he did to him.Īnother flashback reveals that Lord Sihadecho was betrayed by one of their own guards, who attempted to kidnap Tien, but the boy managed to flee with a loyalist's help. In the village, although the young Tien disdained their peaceful life, he eventually befriended Pim, an orphan girl. Sihadecho wanted Tien to be safe from the commander of the Ayutthaya royal guard, Lord Rajasena, who had plotted against his family. His father, Lord Sihadecho, sent him to learn dances in a remote village under Master Bua instead of making him a warrior. Tien subsequently becomes the field leader of the bandits, whose adventures make him reminisce about his previous life. After Tien passes his last test, killing a demonic female martial artist, Chernang proclaims him his adopted son and heir. He successfully tames wild elephants, and afterwards he fights and defeats three other bandits, a Japanese swordsman, a Chinese fighter, and an indigenous wrestler. Years later, an adult Tien is subjected to the tests necessary to become a true member of the Pha Beek Khrut. They take him to their village, where their soothsayer claims that Tien is destined to become a great warrior, and Chernang offers him to become one of them, which Tien accepts. The leader of the band, Chernang, is intrigued by the boy's physical prowess and sheer willpower, and saves him by passing him a knife to slay the crocodile with. Tien's resistance leads the traders to throw him into a pool with a crocodile, but at that moment, the Pha Beek Khrut (" Garuda Wing Cliff"), a band of bandits and martial artists, unveil themselves and attack the traders.

He manages to escape to the forest, where he is captured by slave traders. In 1431 Siam, during the reign of Borommarachathirat II of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, Tien, the young son of a noble family, is forced to flee from enemy soldiers.
