he finds love and support in unexpected corners. Read on to
learn more of how an entire nation crumbled... all because of a
terrible misunderstanding between two clans that had become
so much more. The terrible wars fought on both sides, the
ever-growing grudges, the spreading darkness, the lives lost
and blood split. And somewhere in the midst of that darkness,
a spring brought on by new love and hope for a new reign.
