The story takes place on the continent of Edthea, whose borders are guarded by impenetrable darkness and dangerous Dark Beasts. Four mighty lords of these beasts patrol the four cardinal directions and thwart every expedition, leaving humanity in the dark about the true size of the world.
An ancient legend, however, states that one day a chosen hero, armed with a special weapon from the King of Hiden, will defeat these four guardians and open new paths for humanity. Young Alicia Glenfall dreams of becoming this heroine.
In a grand endeavor, thirteen warriors recognized as heroes – armed with powerful "Regalia" weapons and led by Steffan – set out to confront the southern ruler Clevatess, the Lord of Luna Mountain, and fulfill the prophecy. Yet, when they encounter Clevatess in his cave, they realize that even their combined power is insufficient. Clevatess’ shadow attacks are overwhelming, and the expedition fails.
After his victory, Clevatess seeks revenge. He attacks the capital Hiderat, destroys the royal castle, and kills the king when he fails to provide a satisfactory answer for humanity’s aggression. During the castle’s destruction, Clevatess discovers a helpless baby. A dying nursemaid begs him to spare the child – Luna – as she is innocent of the adults’ deeds. Doubting the true nature of humanity, Clevatess takes Luna with him, resolved to raise her and study humanity through her.
Among the defeated heroes, Clevatess finds the severely wounded Alicia. With his dark ichor, he saves her life but turns her into a mindless servant – the sole survivor of the expedition.
To raise Luna, Clevatess requires human knowledge. He assumes the form of the deceased baby carrier "Klen" and forces Alicia to assist him. Together, they set out to find a nursemaid for Luna and Arkanacit stones as payment. Alicia recognizes Luna’s royal crest and fears the consequences, while Klen/Clevatess plans to use Luna as a puppet queen to control and study humanity.
The episode ends with Alicia, Klen, and Luna being ambushed and captured by bandits during their journey.
