Takayo Jin, ex-pirate, and now Reflection for the Dragon King Gods, who have dubbed her; the Waterbringer. She was the girl who broke the world, whose power was so great that she nearly destroyed everything. Now on a task to fix all her wrongs, Takayo heads into the mountains on a quest for the gods, a mission meant for the Waterbringer.

Empress Daku, the immortal ruler of the Hisan Empire, has taken the Soulchemist Roa, and Takayo, Master Kon, and Jon have set off to rescue him. Unfortunately, the boy is being held in the Ashen Palace, a fortified city deep in the Empire's Capital City. To reach the boy Takayo will have to gather all the forces of the Shinto-Kamie Order behind her.
