Plot
On the continent Kunaaan, there are three kingdoms, Saint Amoria, Ishilfeen and Vanlodis, with a fragile power balance that could spell disaster and war at any moment. The evil dragon Daganzord also resides on the continent and no one is powerful enough to stop him from spreading destruction and charred land in his wake. Bairo, Kismitete, and a party of wizards attempted to seal Daganzord, but were foiled and this event was known as the Balbagoa Tragedy. Hiiro, Bairo and Kismitete's son, is saved by Giiru and swears to avenge his parents death by training himself with the sword. After turning sixteen Hiiro, with Giruu accompanying him, sets out on a journey to slay the dragon. Along the way, they meet many types of people and gain companions on their journey.

Son of Bairo and Kismitete, the two who sought years ago to seal Dagan Zot. Hiiro took part in the sealing ritual, but when the ritual failed Hiiro's father used a spell to switch his heart with Dagan Zot's, so that their lives would be bound to one another. Since then Hiiro has been training to become a swordsman and find and defeat Dagan Zot, unaware that Dagan Zot's death means his own, and his death means Dagan Zot's.
A mysterious girl who encounters Hiiro in the desert. Her exact nature is unknown, though she appears to have some knowledge of Dagan Zot and particularly likes the sound of Hiiro's (Dagan Zot's) heart.
