The story begins when you enter Jado. The city is now occupied by the Beasts. Luka, the general of the Beast Army, decleared that the city is now occupied. The pier and the gate is sealed. You cannot get out of the city until at night. Go sleep at the inn, and wake up at night.
At night, you get out of the city to the Rabi Forest. Some Level 1 creatures will appear and you can beat them with ease. In the middle of the Forest, you can turn left to a Mana Statue (refresh your MP and HP), or turn right to the waterfall that lea ds to the Holy City. However, it's sealed by magic.
Going south further, and you'll find Astoria, the villege on the lakeside. A man stands near the lake. He says, "I've seen it. Some light appears on the surface of the lake. Will it appear tonight?" You can't find anything in Astoria, and so you sleep in the inn inside.
Then, something do appear outside. A "thing", surrounded by light, flies into Astoria and appears near the window of the inn. You wake up and follow the light, and go back to the Forest. Pass the Mana Statue, and continue to follow the light. At the e nd of the path, you'll see a tiny fairy falling onto the ground. "You OK?", you say.
"I'm too tired," says the fairy. She tells you that she wants to talk to the Priest of Light in the Holy City. She then enter inside your hair (!) and wants you to bring her to there.
Suddenly, there's something happening in Astoria. "It seems like battle", says the fairy, "Let's go back to Astoria!"
Astoria is ruined by the Beasts. "Let's go to the Holy City. We've got no time to lose!". You then go to the waterfall. If you haven't chosen Charlotte in your team, you'll meet your first companion before you enter the fall (you'll also see his/her " pilot episode", but you can't play it). The fairy will release the magic which seals the fall.
There's a cave inside the fall. Refresh yourself under the Mana Statue at the entrance. In the midway (when there's a bridge - sort of), you hear "Help! Help!" and you see a kid grasping on the bridge, avoiding from falling down. You help her, and she 's Charlotte, the granddaughter of the Priest of Light. She follows you while you enter the fall. She goes the wrong way, and falls down. If you've included her in your game, she'll join you. Otherwise she'll go back to the Holy City.
The Holy City is located at the end of the Cave.
That's all this time, folks!
