PLOT:
Akane was just a normal girl enjoying the walk to school with her friends Tenma and Shimon. As the cherry blossom petals swirl around her, Akane finds herself and her friends transported to Heian-era Japan. It seems that Akane is an incarnation of the Priestess of the Dragon God. This power grants her eight stones which embed themselves in her selected guardians, stones which grant them great spiritual power. That power will be needed as the kingdom is under threat from the alluring yet dangerous Akram, who wishes to destroy everything. Will Akane be able to gather her guardians and save her past, or will she fall for Akram's honeyed words?
