All it took was a brush with death to get her there, but Blondina finally realizes her true feelings toward Amon. It’s more than just friendship—it’s love! And so begins her quest to win over the handsome divine beast. But first things first—she’s curious to see how he looks in human form, all grown up. Luckily, Amon’s been waiting for her to ask: “...Think you can handle it?”

Blondina couldn’t be prouder of her best-friend-turned-crush. Once the tiny little kitty cat she met as a child, he’s grown into the dashing new leader of the divine beasts! The imperial capital is in full festival mode to celebrate its new protector… but for Amon, this is only the beginning. Unbeknownst to Blondina, he meets with the emperor himself to set his big plan in motion…“It won’t be long now, Briddy.”

Blondina is rescued just in the nick of time by Amon, and her safe return is greeted with much joy and celebration. But not everyone is happy to see her alive and well—when Adellai witnesses all the love and warmth around her half sister, something inside her snaps. Unhinged by jealousy, she redoubles her efforts to destroy Blondina…but not if Amon has anything to say about it! “I will never lose you again, Briddy.”

Humans and divine beasts are about to enter an era of unprecedented harmony, and at the center of it all stand Blondina and Amon! A grand banquet is being held to celebrate the newfound peace, but centuries-old prejudices are not easily forgotten. Attendees, both human and beast, are still distrustful of each other, and Adellai intends to use the power of Barahan to turn this lingering tension into open hatred and enmity. But Amon has far too much riding on this evening to let it be ruined. Can he save the party and bring his plan to fruition? “And today, finally, the moment has come. Briddy…”

The mysterious dreams she’s been having, the strange incident at the banquet…Blondina pieces together the clues and finally realizes what her half sister is up to. But it’s too late—Adellai is marching on the imperial palace with an army of mind-controlled divine beasts. The bloody past between the two races seems bound to repeat itself…but Amon refuses to give up. He’ll fight tooth and claw to protect a future with his betrothed!“Did you forget? I’m the strongest in these lands.”

The worst case scenario has come to pass. Barahan has fully regained his powers, and the defenders are helpless before his legion of mind-controlled divine beasts. But not all hope is lost—Blondina and Amon, together as always, prepare to strike back, using their mystical connection with Rafiyan, the god of origins...
