However, the dragons are optimistic they'll eventually be allowed to return someday, Auralee has found a new dream to pursue, and all three are adamant that, no matter what, they'll find a way to see each other again.]]

He is ashamed of feeling this way, though.]]

Auralee is a young woman who is very eager to be promoted from a knight in training to an outright knight. One day while doing a routine patrol around her small village, she comes across a strange sleeping man with weird brown shards for ears. It soon appears that this man, Kerr, is in actuality an earth dragon who was [[HumanityEnsues cursed into the form of a heaven-kind]] (i.e., human) in order to force him to learn more about them. Kerr, being quite antisocial in general, is more than a little irritated by this. Soon, Auralee also comes across Ilmari, a sweet and somewhat childish water dragon who was sent down to watch over Kerr and make sure he does as told... probably.
