Prince Hikari is a fish out of water. Exiled from his homeland, he finds himself on a quest for allies in the hope that he might someday return home and overthrow his warmongering brother. To this end, he travels across a harsh desert, the sun beating down as monsters beset him from all sides.
Eventually, he arrives at a frontier town. Next to a ruined mansion overlooking the town stands a lonely man. His flashy outfit and cool hat demark him as another protagonist. With gusto, Hikari approaches the man. In him, the wayward prince may find a kindred soul who might assist him on his quest. They may confide in one another and form a genuine emotional bond as they commiserate over their shared tribulations.
