In immemorial times, the evil god Ramor was [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|banished in a conch]]. However, as the witch-princess Mara finds out, Ramor is about to break free, and there is no time to renew the spell that binds it to the conch. She send her daughter Pelisse (Roxanna in the English translation) to find her old lover, the retired knight Bragon to retrieve both the conch and the egg of the time-bird, the latter allowing her to stop time so she can bind Ramor again.
 
The story revolves around ageing characters dealing with their past, and stepping down to find peace.
