Description: Nadil has found the perfect way to enter the Dragon Castle and retrieve his head: possessing Rath. He didn't expect, though, that Rath would put up resistance against his advances. The Dragon Tribe have to join forces to stop Nadil and stop the bloodshed, but not before the Yokai leader beheads the Dragon Knight of Fire and retrieves his own head. Kaistern, very much aware of Rath's plight, as well as his own fate, once more does everything in his power to protect Rath... even if it means losing his own life.
Past Story: Rath, young and playful, decides to get his kicks by running away from the Dragon Castle to hunt demons. But when he meets up with a mysterious Yokai named Kharl, he's in for a terrible adventure that will cost him his human life... and the only ones who can save him are a Dragon Officer named Kaistern, a dragon called Light, and a mysterious girl called the Heaven's Star Princess.
