Start by giving names to your hero, Byuu, and your first three dragons (your buddy Bikkebakke will give you tips on names if you really like). Talk to Truce for info on commanding dragons and to see a cutscene involving the history of the Granbelos Empire. When all your dragons are named, talk to Salamander (the red one) to get going. In the next scene, name Yoyo, then after another scene change, walk up to the middle of the room. You'll be thrust into your first (pathetically easy) battle.

Matelite will destroy the bridge, so you'll have to get across somehow. Unfortunately the only wizards are in Matelite's party. Just put your Dragons on "Go!" and move close to the water for now. Have Sendak cast Bingo on Byuu. Leave Byuu's Flame Hit for closeup fighting. When Matelite's turn comes up again, have him cast Ice Magic on where the bridge used to be. Go across and smash the enemies. 8p Use Byuu against the Warbuster and use fire attacks; he might drop a Flame Vest or Fire Rod.

Back in the castle, walk up to the center again. End of Prologue.
