Three legendary Rune Gods: seeking their Knights, and the desire to once again form the covenant, to protect and nurture a pristine world.

The emergence of an enemy: one who should not have been forgotten or consigned to the annals of history.

The Magic Knights: who must ascend and mature in strength, if all are to be saved, answering the call of the First Pillar of Cephiro.

Chapter 6: Victory and Revelation Part 2

The aura of sorrow and pain had been erased. The crystalline structures of Cephiro Castle were shimmering with a mystical radiance; as if it were celebrating in its own way the rebirth of an entire world.

A sense of peace permeated the air; enclosing everyone and everything within it.
