About

Ayra, a restless island girl yearning for adventure, follows a mysterious traveler named Darius and learns he's searching for his missing father, last seen heading west two years ago. After a demon attack devastates her village — which Darius fights off at great cost, with Ayra's help — she resolves to learn to fight and join his journey, but her mother refuses to let her leave with a stranger. Darius proposes a compromise: if Ayra can defeat him in a duel, he'll take her along; though hopelessly outmatched in strength and skill, she wins by cleverly exploiting his old injury and a predictable attack pattern, luring him onto wet ground until he slips. Her unlikely victory earns Darius's respect, her mother's tearful blessing, and the start of real training, as the two now prepare for a long journey across kingdoms — toward China, Persia, and Europe — to uncover the truth about his father's disappearance.
