Strange weather phenomena strike the kingdom of Hyland. Alisha, a courageous and patriotic warrior-princess of the Hyland kingdom, sends herself to investigate.

Alisha, now alone and without hope, wanders into a ruin. Meanwhile, two young men, Sorey and Mikleo, stumble across a ruin as well.

Alisha traveled so far from home just to find and speak to the Seraphim, who she believes hold the key to mankind's salvation. Ironically, she does not have the ability to see or hear the Seraphim, even while being in a town full of them.

Sorey and Mikleo travel to Ladylake, capital of the Hyland kingdom and home to the legend of the Lady of the Lake. Excitement in the city is at an all-time high, due in part to the upcoming final ceremony of the Sacred Blade Festival.

Sorey wakes up, three days later. When word spread that the Shepherd has finally arrived, the citizens of Ladylake raised flags to celebrate. However, after a quick tour of the city, Sorey detects something far less festive.

Velvet Crowe swears to kill her sworn enemy, Artorius. When Seres the Malak, ally to Artorius, comes to break Velvet out of prison, Velvet is full of questions.
