Takayo with the help of Kanon and the Shinto-Kamie Order did the impossible, defeating a ruler whose brutal hold over the land lasted hundreds of years. Now Takayo; the prophesied Waterbringer and Kanon; the new ruler of the Empire of Hisan must build a new empire on the wreckage of the Kingdom of Daku. It soon becomes clear that defeating Daku was the easy part. The Darkness that gave Daku her power is now free and threatens to march it's armies upon the living. Now Takayo, Kanon and the Shinto-Kamie Order hope that they can rally the kingdoms in time to combat the coming Darkness.
