SYNOPSIS/MAIN STORY

The story is set on a 13-century perspective of ancient, but native Philippine scenery combined with western (specifically Japanese/Chinese) in a large land (or kingdom) in which a King governs the land and also his people.

It began before the revelation of the last existing oracle to the Fourth Reigning King of the Fifth Royal Family of Traders, King Mounson. During the reign of the fifth royal family, the Kingdom has its peace and prosperity, and the people lived together in joy, peace and harmony.

Since then the first king of the Royal Family, King Koson created a new position to the Royal Government -- the "oracle", a person who can foretell future events and revelations. He decided to build such rank when a sudden war against foreign invaders occurred during his reign, and before the invaders stepped foot on his kingdom. His Royal Army and all the people were already prepared because of a revelation came from one of the Family of the Fishermen, the lowest family rank since then. The Invaders did not win the war and the Kingdom retains its peace. Since then, every king reigned should have his give and adviser, and thus, he will be called as the King's Oracle.

The position of an Oracle lasts until the fourth King reigned. The king became ill frequently that he had to give his obligations and duties to the Prime Minister, from the Family of Gold Traders. But his governance leads into misery. Many changes of the law have occurred; even the Writing System was revised, removing many characters. The Freedom of the Speech was abolished, the amount of tax increases, and many innocent people were killed without any law being violated. Lastly, the position of the King's Oracle was also removed without the King's advice.

Before the changes were occurred, the last oracle of the Oracle made a revelation to all people. According to him, during the reign of the son of the Fourth King (which will be the Fifth King, King Reson); a young man will arise from a far land. He will be destined to save his Kingdom and retrieve its peace which was longed to achieve. Still, many people wondered who will the savior of their Land and the Kingdom.

The fourth King died of illness and his position was given to his son, the Fifth Royal King, King Reson. The Kingdom did not gain its peace a little during his reign. The people managed to live in peace after all. The reign of King Reson marks the time for the appearance of a young boy who will become the savior of the Kingdom.

Ouji came from a family of Fishermen, which were also the Family of the King's Oracles. The Last King's Oracle was his grandfather. But since then, Ouji knew neither his father's face nor his mother's. He spent his childhood living with his good aunt and uncle also with his younger brother and sister. Ouji has no plan living and giving his whole life to be in the Royal House; he thought that he will live in joy if he will work as a Royal Servant.

When he entered inside the palace to become a part of the Royal Army, he later won many friends and one of then was Rabin, and an enemy named Hadji (or Haji). Ouji entered the palace when he was eight. Six years later, his grandfather's revelation began to fulfill.
