Six years ago, a severe accident occurred at the Tower of Fang involving the magical sword Baltanders and the mage Azali. Unable to control the sword’s power, Azali was transformed into a great dragon and thereafter became known as Bloody August. Krilancelo, a young magician who cared deeply for Azali, was appalled when the Tower’s elders were reluctant to rescue her and instead wanted to pretend the accident never happened. Angered by their stance, Krilancelo vowed to find a way to restore Azali to her former self. He abandoned his name, adopting the name Orphen, and left the Tower to continue his studies.
