Synopsis:

A decade after a devastating conflict against monstrous creatures, an empire thrives on the power of aer technology. The series follows Yuri Lowell and Flynn Scifo as they begin their careers within the Imperial Knights, dispatched to the town of Ceazontania. They encounter a troubling situation: unusual aer activity has unleashed grotesque mutations among the local wildlife, posing a significant danger to the region.

Simultaneously, political tensions simmer in the capital between the Knights Supreme Commander and Princess Estellise. As the crisis in Ceazontania escalates and support from the capital becomes uncertain, the local garrison commander makes a pivotal decision that drastically alters the course of Yuri and Flynn’s lives. The narrative explores themes of duty, loyalty, and the consequences of unchecked power, as the protagonists grapple with uncovering hidden truths amidst escalating threats to the community they are sworn to protect.
