EPISODE: Aiko, The Blooming Flower

Akitein, the land without summer. Days where the sunlight bathes the humble land below are sparse, but the people don't mind. 

That's because, even in the cold, the flowers of Akitein bloom with more beauty than any other land. 

One might believe the scenery of colossal mountains encircling the entirety of the land may become a dull sight, but none such thoughts occur as the mountains, carved by deities and maintained by Tanjou, flourish year round with an array of magnificent flowers. 

In Akitein, the isolated kingdom is kept stable by three, united figures: the benevolent primordial, Tanjou, who oversaw the protection of the kingdom's walls. The graceful Emperor Asagao, who through a pact with Tanjou, has served as the kingdom's most just ruler for centuries. 

Last, but certainly not least: the iron-skinned, immutable Shogun Hisashi, the strongest warrior in all of Akitein who oversees their military growth.
