At the end of the 20th century, [[The End of the World as We Know It|an undisclosed catastrophe destroyed the civilized world]] driving society back to a [[Jidai Geki|feudal level]]. Japan is ruled by the Golden King, a tyrant who came to power by [[Evil Prince|assassinating everyone ahead of him]] in the line of succession. Now his greatest fear is to [[Karmic Death|suffer the same fate]]. To avoid this he divided the land among his three sons, the Black King, the Blue King and the Red King, so they would expend all their energy [[Sibling Rivalry|fighting each other]] instead of him. Naturally it's their subjects who suffer most by this. |

In the tiny Village of Byakko in the now [[Thirsty Desert|desertified]] western region of Japan, a [[Half-Identical Twins|pair of brother-sister twins]] are born under a prophecy: one of them will become the [[Chosen One|Child of Destiny]] and lead the country into a new era of freedom and prosperity. The boy Tatara is taken for the [[Chosen One]], while his sister Sarasa languishes in his shadow. However, when the local ruler, the Red King, learns of the prophecy, he attacks the village, finding Tatara and executing him. Sarasa [[My Sibling Will Live Through Me|disguises herself as her brother]] to keep her people from falling into despair. |
