Year 1108 in the official calendar of the Pajan Empire. This turbulent age, often called the Asagiri Era, or the Time of Mists, saw the great clans wage decades-long wars in attempts to seize power.

It is the Winter of 1109 in the official calendar of the Pajan Empire. Okko and his faithful companions - the mysterious masked Noburo, Noshin the monk, and young Tikku - arrive at the City of the Blasting Powder. While seeking a guide to help them cross the perilous chain of the seven monasteries, they meet a skillful warrior, Mow of the Wind!

Okko and his tribe travel to the Valley of the Celestial Winds in order to assist a young woman, who has retreated into silence. Crossing the bridge, a young man from Okko's past recognizes Okko as the man who killed his father. Okko and his tribe call upon the wind spirits to help save the young woman that they traveled to assist. A dead bird falls in front of Noburo as a sign of trouble.
