Saul, an isolated and lonely archmage who possesses the ability of radiant miracles and lives eternally, discovers Hale, a young dragon left to die in a desolate valley. Although Saul genuinely cared for Hale, he callously sends him away to learn to fend for himself and departs. After a lengthy journey lasting 100 years, Saul returns to the valley and senses a strange atmosphere in the village but collapses from poison. Upon regaining consciousness... a man with striking white hair, who has entirely lost his youthful looks, is there waiting for him. Saul struggles to recognize the now-adult man, whose face is twisted with tears. "...I was not in your memories, was I?"
