One thousand years ago, one million humans and dragons are camped in what is known as the valley of tears. They wake one morning with their love turned to hate and left for battle with wife, child, and mother, pleading for them to stop fighting and marching with sword and axe in hand.

 One thousand years after, a young man, a vagabond, is lying about in the world somewhere, resting from a fruitless search. The young man is wounded. Where in the world does he need to travel to find his friend, a dragon, so his search can end and he can go home?

The young man carries the hopes and dreams of every human and dragon on his shoulders.
