As
a young boy, Ethan Kendrick (Cody Arens) encounters in a shop owned and
operated by antiques dealer Jack (Robert Forster) a mysterious
reptilian scale that shines with a blue light. This light projects
itself upon Ethan. Seeing this, Jack pretends to suffer a heart attack
and sends Ethan's father, who is selling him an antique dagger, to get
help. Ethan then listens as Jack narrates a story (largely shown in
flashback) explaining the scale.
Jack, having told this story, reveals that he is himself Bochun, and
that Ethan is Haram, reborn to protect the Yuh-Yi-Joo from Burakai, who
is soon to return. Jack gives Ethan a medallion formerly belonging to
Haram and reveals that the Yuh-Yi-Joo is a girl named Sarah whom Ethan
will find in Los Angeles. Ethan accepts the medallion and the
responsibility of caring for the Yuh-Yi-Joo...
