Spoiler! :
On a large ledge that stretches from the bedrock, there's a young man standing up over the edge.
He seemed to have no more than 16 or 17 years, he had a loose and disheveled black hair and it was dressed with an strange outfit. A field hakama with spread cuffs tied with a thick belt and a flashy colored coat. None of them appeared to be from this world.
It must be said that from where he stands, on that point of the smooth and vertical rock cliff without footholds, 300 or 400 meters above the ground, that the view that streches on the horizon is truly magnificent. Certainly a normal person would feel dizzy not only by looking down, but by just standing there.
Nevertheless, the young man was standing calmly at the ledge's edge staring at the area.
Far away before his eyes, the undulating land spreads out as its light green and reddish brown mottled patterns intertwine together. The dark green masses that seems to be forest can be seen on various places. If he raises his gaze overhead, over the vertical cliff to the land's deep plateau, he can see the high peaks that extends on the mountain range and continue to the mountain's feet.
On the deep forest that spreads over the land. Thanks to the high density of the trees, and the dark green color of the leaves, if one look down at the forest from the sky, it would problably be seen as black earth spreading out over the land.
The young man that was gazing at the view slowly raised his head.
Though it was faintly and blurry, he was able to have a good view of the snow-capped peaks in the distance. The ridge was cutting the skyline, separating the white earth and the blue sky.
The youth turned his head as some shadow appeared at the edge of his view, seeing what appeared to be some kind of small winged dragon flying on the clear sky.
"It's already too late to be saying this, but this is really an strange world."
He still looked at the sky, following the black shadow as it goes away.
"Though I say that... I still cannot remember anything of my own world, but I know at least that there wasn't creatures like that flying in the sky."
At that moment.
A woman was approaching the youth's back.
The woman seemed to be in her early twenties. She had a long bluish black hair hanging down her back until her waist. She dressed a long dark skirt that wrapped her body till the ankles. The long skirt has an opening that comes from both sides of the skirt, from which one can take a good look of the sexy woman's thighs.
The woman stopped at the man's back and called him after taking a glance to his back.
"What are you looking at, Naga-sama?"
"I was just... wait, I told you already to stop calling me Naga-sama. Who do you think I am?"
"How should I call you that holds "Dragon King" as name if not Naga-sama?"
Although a smile appears on the woman's face, it doesn't seems to have any kind of sarcasm on it.
But on the other side, the young man's face has a sarcastic smile.
"It's too grandiose. Firstly, I didn't know that my name had such an outrageous meaning like "Dragon King"."
"You say so but, aren't you going to unite this world? Unite it and bring a new order? Then I believe that being called Naga is very appropiated for you."
"That's my intention however, I haven't taken a single castle yet. If I begin to claim myself as Dragon King, then how should I call myself when I take over the world.
"Shouldn't you call yourself as you want, like Dragon conqueror or holy dragon emperor?"
"Uha ha ha!, those are certainly pretentious."
Although the youth laughs it happily, the woman has a slightly amazed look on her face.
"You're the pretentious one. To unite the divided countries like this, to unite this torn in pieces world, is not something a normal person would think of. Every country got their hands full just protecting their own territory, and for the sake of protecting their country they attack the neighboring ones. It's the same for humans and witches, to protect themselves humans try to destroy witches, and to protect ourselves we witches counterattack them. We have been keeping that unending cycle of wars for hundreds of years. It`s already too late to coexist with each other... That's what everyone thinks."
"Then it's useless. If the only they do is protect the country, neither the country and it's people won't advance forward. If somebody doesn't take the challenge, the world won't change. If nobody is up to the challenge..."
The man turned to face the woman and then he boldly smiled.
"Then I will take it."
"I'm totally surprised by that way of thinking of yours. From where a young man like you could get that form of thinking?"
"I don't know it either but, I feel that it's something I must do. Though I wouldn't call it... an obsession, it's like a voice is resounding somewhere in my heart, saying that the torn world must be united.
"I wonder if that secret is concealed within your lost memories."
"That might be possible."
Once again, the man gaze upon the mysterious widening scenary before him.
The vast world.
The abrupt nature.
The many countries.
The diverse humans.
The ones called witches.
The long conflict between humans and witches.
As well as the continuing conflicts between humans.
Can this man really unite this world?
Can he stop the long conflict between humans and witches that's been going for centuries?
To put and end to the people's power struggle that continued for hundreds of years?
"I will do it."
The young man boldy laughed.
"It doesn't matter what kind of world is out there, I was born to unite the world."
The youth stops smiling and looks at the woman's face with a serious expression.
"So Harrigan Halliway Heindler, the jet black witch of the black forest, would you and the others witches fight alongside me?"
"That's our intention. Though our group lacks on strength, we are prepared to give all our power to help your ambition. In any case, it's the light of hope that shines our future as we roll down on a slope facing the extinction. If we realize your ambition, we can secure our future "
"I hope so."
"To begin with, you saved our lives, so we must return that debt. Didn't you say it before "to certainly pay a night's stay and a meal debt"? Now it's our turn to pay it."
"For a witch you're too honorable."
"I'm honorable because I'm a witch. And on first place, you that risked your life fighting for us because of a "meal and a bed" debt, would be the one too honorable."
The young man, remembering what he did, just happily laughed.
The youth continued laughing for a while, and soon turned his body.
"Well, let's go back Harrigan. It's getting a little cold here, we will catch a cold if we stay too long."
The young man and the witch departed and soon they dissapeared as they entered the cave's entrance.
A gust of wind blew over the abandoned rock ledge, making a melancholic sound that resembles the winter wind whistling through a fence .
These are the warring states.
A world where war never ends.
A world covered in the tumults of war.
A world covered by the clouds of war.
Where the ravages of war never cease.
Where the drums of war never stop.
Where battlefields spread over the world.
In which what awaits on a man's path could be victory or defeat, and also life or death.
Can the man really save the witches that are on the brink of extinction?

Spoiler! :
There was a small lake in the forest.
Although if you look at it's scale over the shore, it would be more appropiate to call it a pond or bog. But the people of this place call this place...
Ryuujinko, the lake where the dragon god lives.
The water of the oval lake is cold and clear, it wouldn't become muddy even if it rains. Therefore, It is said that water might spring from somewhere at the bottom of the lake.
Though it's a place that people rarely approach, people still come. And some of those few, say that they saw strange things at that place.
Someone say that he saw a foreign city at the bottom of the lake.
Another say that the lake's water were swelling even though there was no wind.
Another say that he saw a dragon swimming there.
And another that he saw a foreign girl in the lake.
As those rumors spread around, the few people that approached the lake suddenly stopped coming.
Today as always, inside that forest wrapped on a deep silence, the Ryuujinko had a quiet appereance with the lake's surface shining with the sunshine like a mirror.
At the lake's shore, there is a young man standing.
The young mans was problaby around 16 or 17 years, and was wearing an strange outfit.
He had a loose and disheveled hair, he weared a pipe hakama of pongee that you cannot find around here with a katana on his waist, and also a coat colored with flashy designs.
The young man steps inside the lake shore, not caring at all about wetting his legs as he looked into the lake.
"A dragon lives here? How does it live in such clear water? On first place, the bottom of the lake is completely visible. Where the hell is the dragon? I came a long way here expressly for this, but it turned out to be a fake."
As the young man spit out his displeasure, he bends to pick up a peeble that fell to his foot and aims to the lake to throw it.
At that moment, the lake's water began to to swell even though there's no wind, with the ripples approaching the shore.
The sound of the ripples breaking in the lakeshore grows stronger.
"What!? Waves so suddenly!? It can't be, is there really something here!? "
The young man throws away the peeble and once again looks into the lake. Then inside the lake, a view that he never saw was being projected.
"W... what is, that..."
Dense stone buildings.
A plaza covered with stone pavement.
An extravagant palace with pinnacles.
"What is that!? A town!? No, but those buildings..."
In front of the young man, the view inside the lake completely changes.
A thick and these dark forest.
A surprisingly thick and tall giant tree.
Beasts that he never saw squirming in the forest.
"What on earth I'm looking at!? No... What it's showing me?"
The view changes again.
And again, and again, and again.
The next thing projected in the water it's a plain tree building, with the smoke of cooking rising from it.
And the shade of a beautiful girl's face somewhere.
The young man never saw any kind of appereance or clothes like those.
"A mirage!? No, I never heard of a mirage that projects underwater. What the hell is that!?"
As the young man steps inside the lake charmed at the spectacle, the waves that break in the lakeshore suddenly grown.
"Uwaaah!?"
It wasn't the sea, it was just a little pond.
The energy of the rip current was terrifyingly big, the young was pulled underwater as if a huge invisible arm caught his leg.
"Wha... what is going... gaah."
The young man figure dissapeared in the waves.
Suddenly the lake calmed down, the waves stopped and the surface became once again like a mirror.
Nothing was heard, nor the sound of the wind or the chirp of the birds. It was an strange calm, as if the lake absorbed all the sounds. The small lake was wrapped with the same silence as it had before.
And for the dissapeared young man...
The lake's deep it's of a few meters only, and the water it's soo transparent that bottom is totally visible. And yet, there was no sign of the young man figure in the water or in the bottom.
"Young master... Where are you?" Young masteeer."
Is the voice of one of the young man's retainer calling for him?
"Young masteer... Do you hear me? Young masteeer."
The voice owner get's little by little closer to the lake.
"The young master, where on earth did he go leaving aside his retainers. It can't be that he went to the lake by himself."
An elderly man approached the lake, and bending his curved posture little by little , he took a timidly peek at the lake.
"It can't be. No matter how unreasonable is the young master, he wouldn't dive in the lake where the dragon god lives by himself. So... Where did the young master go? "
The elder retainer of about 50 years smacked his lips as he had a frustation expression on his face.
"Damn it young master. Going around without retainers with such excentric clothes, that's why you're called a fool by everyone."
Taking a sigh, the elder retainer turns and walks away of the lake.
"Young masteer! If you're there please respond! Young masteeeer!"

Edit(23/07/2014): Finally got the time to add the characters index and the last prologue. As I said before, I'm not so good translating from japanese so they may have mistakes, but I tried my best to make them understandable. Feel free to tell me anything about the translations or the novel.
