Ep 4. The Innocent Wanderer

Syaoran, Kurogane, and Fai land in the middle of a desert, where they are approached by a young boy named Rondart. He tells them about his village, which has been plagued by sandstorms and attacked by mysterious creatures that come from the ruins of an ancient city nearby. Upon arriving in the village, the trio meets Banan, the village elder, who explains to them that the city is cursed and that the attacks are caused by a powerful magic that was unleashed when the city was destroyed.

Syaoran, Kurogane, and Fai agree to investigate the ruins and try to find a way to lift the curse. However, they soon realize that they are not the only ones interested in the ancient city, as they encounter another group of travelers who seem to be searching for something as well. These travelers are led by a young man named Kyle, who is also accompanied by his talking cat, Mokona.

As the two groups explore the ruins, they encounter various traps and obstacles, which they overcome with their respective skills and abilities. However, they soon realize that the real danger is not the traps, but each other, as tensions rise and suspicions begin to fuel distrust and hostility between them.

Meanwhile, another party is also on their way to the ruins, led by a powerful wizard named Ashura. It soon becomes clear that Ashura is the one behind the curse on the city and the attacks on the village, and that he is seeking a powerful magical artifact that is said to be hidden within the ruins.

Syaoran, Kurogane, and Fai manage to find the artifact first, but their victory is short-lived as Ashura and his minions arrive and engage them in a fierce battle. In the chaos, Kyle and his companions reveal their true identities and intentions, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.

In the end, the battle is won, but at a great cost. The artifact is lost, and the curse on the city remains. However, the experience has brought the travelers closer together, as they realize the importance of trust and teamwork in achieving their goals. As they continue on their journey, they are left to ponder the mysteries of the ancient city and the powers that lie hidden within it.
