** Apart from that, Will occasionally finds himself in a position to kill Xax, which would make life much simpler for everyone. He doesn't do it for various reasons; Xax is helpless, Xax has helped him, or he just can't bring himself to do it.

* OrphansPlotTrinket; Subverted and played straight. Will is an orphan, and he wears a significant necklace, but it didn't come from his parents; [[EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity Kalem]] gave it to him to keep him on track. Vara, though, carries around a necklace her father gave her, which immediately identifies her as a princess to anyone who sees it. No matter how far from the Citadel they are. Drogo, the other orphan in the series, doesn't seem to have gotten anything from his parents.

A sixteen episode fantasy series from New Zealand, loosely based on the legend of William Tell. In this version, Will, named for his country's great hero, is a farm boy living with his parents. Kreel, a dark magician, raises Xax to overthrow the King and Queen and take control of the country. Kalem, a light sorceress, chooses Will to rescue the young princess Vara and find the [[Macguffin crystal arrow]] that will enable her to get rid of Kreel. Will assembles a RagtagBunchOfMisfits and they spend a lot of time hiking around New Zealand's beautiful scenery.

!! The television series contains examples of:
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Will, a couple of times. It's implied that Kalem is doing it to give him a hand.
* FireForgedFriends: The group, most of whom meet for the first time in a slave mine.
* FiveManBand: Will as [[TheHero the hero]], Aruna as [[TheLancer the lancer]], Leon as [[TheBigGuy the big guy]] (overlapping with [[TheSmartGuy the smart guy]]), Drogo as [[TheSmartGuy the smart guy]]; Leon reads and is educated, Drogo has animal instincts and senses. Vara as [[TheChick the chick]]. Alvar as [[TeamPet team pet]].
* ParentalSubstitute: Will and Leon trade off for Vara. Leon's usually the one physically protecting her, and he often stays with her when Will's off doing the hero thing, but she consistently looks to Will when she's upset or worried. Once she gets over thinking he's kidnapped her, anyway.
* PsychicLink: Backfires on Will a couple of times, as Kalem's injuries tend to make him very snappish and short tempered. It's a much more stable link than Xax's with Kreel, though; they need crystals to talk to each other, Will and Kalem just talk normally. Will also gains insights through his association with Kalem.
* RefusalOfTheCall: Will refuses Kalem the first time, because Xax and his men are bearing down on his home. Kalem sends him away anyway.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Vara wil be this if they can ever get her back onto the throne.
