Story

　

In Tianeea, the Fire Village,
everyone is preparing to celebrate the coming of the Faerie and the naming of an "alm."
Every four years, alms from around the world are chosen to travel to the Tree of Mana and rejuvenate the flow of mana power.
A soul guard is also chosen to ensure the alms' safe pilgrimage. Val is one such guard.

On the day of the Faerie's arrival, Val brings his childhood friend to the festival. As the sun falls beneath the skyline, all the spectators wait with bated breath, hoping to be chosen as an alm.
The Faerie finally descends before Val's friend, appointing her the Alm of Fire.
The villagers bid them both farewell, praying for their success as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime.
