Nohiro, accompanied by three small Faeries (Shian, Hanakusuku and Miyabi), follows a call to the Eastern continent of Arinas, where he discovers Kharl's castle. There he finds an anxious and homicidal Garfakcy, uncovers a plot by Kharl to revive his master, and locates an imprisoned Tintlet. As the faerie-obsessed human attempts to save the day, Kitchel and Ringsley continue to search Arinas for the three treasures and a way out of the water cave in which they are trapped. Meanwhile, back in Draqueen, Rath awakens to the news that Cesia agreed to go with Nadil in exchange for the safety of the castle and vows to get her back.

Rath
Dragon Knight of Fire, he is also a Yokai, the race of humanoid demons that lord over the beasts, but keeps that identity shrouded in mystery so that his motives and loyalties are never entirely clear. Ironically, he has an insatiable desire to hunt demons.

Rune
An elf of the Faerie world who sacrificed his Faerie powers to accept his role as Dragon Knight of Water. Although he loyally serves the Dragon Lord, he longs to return to his Faerie brethren and the life of a healer rather than a destroyer.

Thatz
A human thief who became the Dragon Knight of Earth when he tried to rob the Dragon Lord's castle and was inadvertently chosen by the Earth Dragon to be its master. His loyalty has always been to cash, food, and the acquisition of treasures. But he's learning how to live up to his duties as a Dragon Knight.

Lykouleon
The Dragon Lord who must manage the defense of the peaceful lands against the oncoming demon forces by navigating the political minefield that Dusis has become. He is not opposed to thwarting his rank and station by diving into the thick of the action, much to the chagrin of his advisory council, all of whom would rather he stay safe within the magically fortified walls of the Dragon Castle.

Nadil
The leader of the demon forces. He was decapitated by Lord Lykouleon in a battle years ago. His head, now safeguarded in the Dragon Castle, is highly coveted by the creatures of the Demon Realm, who long to resurrect their fallen commander. In order to do this, however, they much first retrieve Nadil's head.
