On his tenth birthday, Valt and his best friend Cobalt are attacked by the same taotie monster who kidnapped his parents years before. He escapes and meets Kem, a kindly taotie sent by his parents to be his guide from the Land of Metal and help him master his elemental powers.

Valt and his friends meet Alia, his guide from the Land of Fire, who offers to use her powers to teleport Valt to the other side of the wall surrounding the Land of Metal.
A solar flare causes Alia's flame to separate from her body leaving her cold and weak while her flame wreaks havoc in the Land of Wood.
Kem starts to feel useless when he realizes he has no special powers to teach Valt like the other guides. Meanwhile, Da-Ming fires Mungo and decides to go after Valt himself.
Valt and his friends plan to take a shortcut across the Land of Earth by taking a bridge over a massive canyon, but the bridge turns out to be a trap.
Yark can't take being in the desert heat much longer without water, so Cobalt comes up with a plan to get them to the next city faster.
The group comes to a city supposedly inhabited by ghosts. This seems to be true when all of Valt's friends start disappearing.
Led by a magic firefly named Lina, Valt and Trika explore a cave to find more water.

The ruins of an ancient kingdom contain a prophecy for Valt to find, but first he must get past the dragon cursed to destroy anyone who enters the city.
Valt is unable to drink the water from the Crescent Moon Lake so he, Cobalt, and Trika, with help from Trika's uncle, travel to the bottom of the lake to find a chalice to help him drink.
Valt travels to Rainbow Mountain alone to retrieve the stolen chalice. He runs into a figure called Dark Warrior who wants Valt to join him in conquering Da-Ming. When he refuses, Dark Warrior takes away Valt's powers.
The gang travels to Trika's home village to ask for her grandmother's help in restoring Valt's powers only to find that the village has been taken over by Dark Warrior.
Valt and his friends travel to the Fortress of the Dark Warrior to reclaim the chalice and regain his powers once and for all.
