When light and darkness split the earth - everything chooses a side.While yokai and animals have always endured in the darkened forests, humans with their spirit birds remained in the safety of the towns. They intended to keep the balance between the scales of harmony. But time weakens the link between humans and spirit birds. A yearly festival of light shall strengthen their bonds. During the celebration, a defender of the light who shall carry the title of "ampguard" is chosen. His mighty armour strengthens the bond between the wearer and his spirit bird. It becomes their burdon to shield the festivities from the advancing corruption of the dark. When the festival buzzes proudly, the troops of night come creeping from the forest's depths to drown the festival's radiance. Only the ampguard is the ray of hope within the last stand against the darkness.
