| Summer 1419, Japan On a seemingly peaceful afternoon, disaster strikes in the form of a dragon demon striking a village in which a group of sorcerers dwelled. The villagers' magic powers are no match for the demon, and many are killed. Our protagonist, Inuhoshi Kumokaze, the eldest son of the lord of the village, was alerted by his younger brother, and seeks the demon in a duel. Inuhoshi wins the duel, but did not anticipate the troubles that follow... The father of the demon wanted revenge. The dragon demons have no sympathy for humans, and therefore they feel no remorse for what they've done. The demon's mistress, then, to aid her lover, poisons a good portion of the village members and sets Inuhoshi and his friends to their allie village to seek their prodigy medic, for their own medic was unable to cure the poison. Our other protagonist, Rentsuki Yukiken, was the lord...er...lady of the village in the north, and a childhood friend of Inuhoshi's. Not only does she let her village healer go with Inuhoshi, Rentsuki herself and a group of village elite guards went with Inuhoshi to devise a defense plan for his village. Little did they know, a duel to protect the village sparked an all-out war. |
