After his near-fatal skirmish with the Hero of Lightning, Makoto is finally free to explore Highland. His first stop is the Grandsage's mansion, where truths of a thousand years past are revealed—but not without a price. Then, while taking a pleasant tour of the city, Makoto and Fujiyan accidentally discover that the maltreated demi-humans are planning an uprising! Suspecting foul play from the treacherous Snake Sect, the group splits up to investigate and finds hordes of undead lurking in the shadows. The mystery deepens further when Sakurai asks Makoto to help him track down the escaped Priestess of the Moon. Aloof, beautiful, and skilled in necromancy, the moon priestess is an extraordinarily dangerous opponent. What could Sakurai possibly want with her? And could she have a sinister connection to the Snake Sect's insidious schemes?
