Unwillingly being dragged in to the plan, Orphen encounters a monster who has long been his goal since the day he left the Tower of Fang. Between those who seek to kill the monster and Orphen, giving everything to protect the monster, his lousy but peaceful days end. Trying to turn back his sister, Azalie, back to her true form leads to many more mysteries and the key to the secret to the world.

He takes up a job going into Cleao's place, and she gets attacked by a dragon, who just so happens to be Orpen's foster sister Azalie, who has been transformed into a dragon. Well, that was a passable start as while there were plenty of issues, at least the story could be interesting. I never watched the original series, so I am not in a position to compare things, but nevertheless I'll give it a couple more episodes.

Orphen has a personality that I hope I can get used to. They introduced the idea of magic and didn't hold back on some of the fighting scenes in the first episode. Cleao Everlasting is also introduced and she has a tomboyish-like personality. Cute girl. Pretty much an introductoy episode but it has my interest somewhat for now. I haven't seen the original series either so coming into this anime fresh.

Still, I'm willing to stick with this at least for a little while.
