Before the news of a spaceship being shot down...
Titus von Chrysalis successfully escaped from home, leaving behind his twin sister, after bribing Old Man Willow with his younger brother's homemade fertilizers. These fertilizers were a powerful tonic for sentient plants and trees like Old Willow, helping them grow stronger. For Titus, they were also his quantum beast's favorite food. He was headed to Planet Terra in search of herbs and to reunite with his younger brother.
However, upon entering the planet's stratosphere, his spaceship was shot down without warning. Luckily, Titus managed to escape before it exploded and landed on the planet's surface. His clothes were torn and his face was covered in soot and dust, leaving him looking like a beggar. Despite this, his Quantum Beast helped him survive the fall by lessening its impact and leading him to the nearest body of water.
