Kitchel and Ringsley are able to find the three treasures in the submerged water corridor in the lost continent of Arinas and encounter a corps of Dragon Warriors who are also trapped. But they cannot reach each other because of a spell that Kharl, the alchemist, has placed on them. Meanwhile Rath and Cesia close in on Mt. Mfartha. They stay at an inn where, as luck will have it, they meet up with Kai-stern. The owner of the inn asks Rath to defeat a nearby mischievous demon, a request he cannot turn down, leaving Kai-stern to journey up to Mt. Mfartha alone, a move that proves almost fatal as he encounters a strange creature - a deranged demon named Gil ...

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.
