SYNOPSIS: In 1619, a drunken samurai trainer witnesses a midnight battle between two heavenly creatures, crashing on Earth like meteors. In the morning, he thinks it was a nightmare, yet before they had burned each other to ashes with lightning rods, one of them unwillingly left something behind. This is a story of love, betrayal, medieval conquest, vengeance, and the ultimate victory of true friendship. (Novelization in 3 parts.)
