The story

In the land of Odyssia, Prince Nestor went to seek Quest, who was banished by his mother, for help when his father was captured by snarls, but Quest refused to help Nestor even when he was shown a letter that repealed him from his exile. When his house was destroyed by the Katastrophe Brothers, he went to rescue Nestor from them only to give him a bill for having his house destroyed. Quest went to visit his old buddy Gating for answer to why told Nestor where he lived and why he must help him. Gatling told Quest that Nestor possessed the "Dagger of Way", and that Quest was the only person who could handle the situation. Now Nestor and Quest travel to find the five swords only if they don't kill each order first.

Differences between comic and animated series

  • One major difference is Odyssia in the comic it is set in a world of fantasy, swords and sorcery there wasn't any technology. The characters were also different from their animated counterparts; they were redesigned for the animated series and have different personality.
  • Nestor travels with guards when he went to meet with Quest in the comic, Graer didn't appear until the second volume of the graphic novel.
  • Gatling isn't a cyborg in the comic, but he did have the ability chew things up and spit them out as bullets. He was the one who tricks Quest into reading the "allegiance spell" in volume two of the graphic novel.
  • The Growls were originally call Snarls.
  • In the novel Nestor isn't in his teens, he is about 5 years old. In the cartoon he's about 12-15; this was done to attract more viewers.
  • Nestor in the novel have no control over Quest like the cartoon Nestor, he is boss around by Quest.
