This is the sequel to the smash-hit "Rousal of Truth" . It's set six months earlier, in the year 1699, just before the end of the "Great War." The setting is the "Fortress rave 2 supermobile blue space" , which means that it's the place where the "Knights of the Blue Sky" are resting. Hiro and the other heroes of the war are resting there, too, and they're happy to be there. They're talking to the deerhound, who's been guarding the tomb since the war ended. The deerhound tells them that he's from the war, and that he was a simple soldier who died during the battle. He's not really a warrior, but he still has the power to protect the tomb. The other heroes are happy to see him, too. They all hurry to get to the "final trial" of the rave master .
