Chapter 2 begins with Alena begging her father, the King of Saintohaim, to let her explore the world, since strong fighters are needed more and more in their troubled times, with the Underworld creeping out of dormancy. However, he refuses, saying that with monsters showing increasing aggression, it's simply too dangerous to let her leave the safety of the castle. Alena goes back to her room but, within a few minutes, has been overcome with frustration and escapes the castle. | Chapter 2 begins with Alena begging her father, the King of Saintohaim, to let her explore the world, since strong fighters are needed more and more in their troubled times, with the Underworld creeping out of dormancy.

Kiryl and | Kiryl and Borya, her retainers, give chase; they're resigned to not being able to make her stay put, but if she's going to leave, they can't allow her to travel alone. The three set out and soon come to a small village being terrorized by a local monster continually demanding young girls as a sacrifice. Alena immediately heads to the local church to offer herself as the next sacrifice, but she has no intention of dying; as soon as the demon shows its face, she, Kiryl and Borya spring into action and take it out, saving the village. | ||
After journeying straight to the far ends of Saintohaim, the nomadic [[Desert Bazaar]], she gets a summons from her father, who, upon receiving her, admits that he was mistaken in his overprotectiveness, and opens the Travel Gate to a nearby country. Here, Alena finds the local princess bemoaning her fate, because her father has promised her hand to the winner of the Endor Tournament, an annual fighting competition, and her father seriously regretting this promise. Though she hears rumblings of an extremely dangerous entrant named Psaro, Alena enters and gets to the finals, only to find that her opponent, who would have been Psaro, has disappeared. By winning the tournament, Alena absolve the Princess of her duty. | After journeying straight to the far ends of Saintohaim, the nomadic [[Desert Bazaar]], she gets a summons from her father, who, upon receiving her, admits that he was mistaken in his overprotectiveness, and opens the Travel Gate to a nearby country.
