January 16, 2008
From the Southwestern clans of Satsuma, Choshu and Tosa the men of high purpose were revering the emperor and expeling the barbarians. The members of the Ishin Shishi opted for a more violent approach in asserting their views. Killing politicians, fighting the Shinsengumi and burning Kyoto at the height of Gion festival. But a shadow of Ishin Shishi from Mito was responsible of the death of the shogunal grand councilor Ii Naosuke, who was a signatory to treaties that favored foreign nation, and who had placed an underaged boy on the shogunal throne.

One by one the defenses of the island kingdom of Endra-La failed to hold back the vicious Bairn, the godslayer, until there was nothing left to stop him. The temple of the goddess had been destroyed and her vessel had been mercilessly killed. The goddess, Llyra came out with increadible rage at Bairn for killing her vessel. The goddess fought with all her might, but the victory was with Bairn and left the goddess in the pool of blood.
