In this lifetime, the land is in turmoil and flames of war rage across the realm. Love and hatred rise and fall between blades, while she, of all people, makes a vow with her pen and waits amid the endless mortal world for his return.
Some say that in times of chaos, love between men and women is the least important thing of all. Yet she spent half her life in solitude, keeping a promise to him called Answering the Call of the Mortal World.
From their first meeting, when they were spirited youths, to their parting as the land fell apart, theirs is not a story of vows traded back and forth, nor of earth-shattering life and death. It is simply: "I know you came, and so I have no regrets."
This is a story about an obsession: a woman who refuses to forget for her entire life.
She asks nothing of the martial world, nothing of blades, nothing of the ending. She asks only one thing: did one person ever call her name with genuine feeling?
