Before she saw her first ogre,
Minami was just a girl in the town of Kannagicho.
Seeing the beast terrified her into paralysis
but before the ogre slayed her,
she was saved by her grandmother Rishi.
Rishi collapsed in exhaustion; Minami brought her home.
Thus, Minami learned that
she was descended from sorcerers.
Hearing this she began a journey of the self,
with little more than a wooden sword
and a vague knowledge of her ancestry.
