Bio
Decades after the events of Panzer Dragoon Saga, mysterious girl Orta sits in a tower guarded by a fear known only as the Seekers. Her mind is a blank page, knowing nothing of her past, her origins, her parents — a supposed threat to the society around her. She is unknowing of the events which are happening outside her small prison. The mighty Empire, bent on a worldwide ruling, have risen once again. They have gained new weapons — Dragonmares, bio-engineered creatures — which have rendered the force unstoppable. Orta is blissfully ignorant as these war machines approach the town she resides in, destroying anything in their path.
The young girl with pure white hair clutches the bars of her open window. The valley is engulfed in flames, a lethal attack on the Seekers by their old enemies of the Empire. With little difficulty the Dragonmares swoop down to tear away the walls of the tower in which Orta survives. They are looking for something. Looking for her.
..When an enormous winged shape descends from the sky. A dragon! Such creatures were presumed long gone, having disappeared with the previous battles in order to stop the Empire from achieving dominance. Orta is rescued by the beast; she doesn't know why or how. She is frightened and confused as she and the dragon desperately flee from the furious pursuit of the Imperial Army. She does not know her importance, or why the Empire desires the capture of her. It is the beginning of an epic journey of which she will find her purpose, her destiny.
What fate awaits the two? Who awaits them at their journey's end?
