330 years after our area, Earth is wounded by man's unconsciousness. The world is now ruled by the overwhelming power of the forest spirits which inflict their anger on humanity for their past suffering. In this new world two cities coexist: Ragna trying for a return to civilisation, and the Neutral City which advocates the harmony with the forest. Destiny interferes when by chance young man Agito wakes up Toola, a young woman from the past mysteriously kept in a forbidden sanctuary. Along with her, knowledge which had been buried for three centuries, reappears. The fragile balance which regulates this earth is once more threatened by the apparition of the one past had entrusted with a mission!
