A mysterious love affair develops between the human Snye and the Jaroslaw Oroshzi, which came from the Laurentius galaxy in a distant quadrant of the universe. The Empire requests that some Saints prepare of Chronicle of the history of Emsky, so that the million other galaxies under their throne may learn about Emsky. The Ngrd ask Oroshzi, a non-human if she will help Snye prepare this report. The throne gives them visions that they can witness the long history of Emsky, considered primitive. These visions show them the seven stones of the ages, with the first six stones destroyed from a wide range of disasters. To prevent the same ending for the seventh stone, the Power Spirits draw humanoids from distinct parts of the universe, allowing each of the continents to have a distinctive human basis, and hopefully be able to withstand the challenges of time. Oroshzi discovers she was the mother of the Ngrd during a previous life. Upon completion of the Chronicle, the Empire awards them with a wedding ceremony by their greatest throne, the Masters throne.
