At this time in Windurst a great adventure of their own was taking place. Since the end of the Crystal War the lands around windurst had slowly dried up and life withered away.

Ajido-Marujido, son of the creator of the cardians, and head of the Orastery had taken it upon himself to dig into the reason why. His sister Apururu had taken over the Maunastery after their father had mysteriously vanished.

The two were known for their brilliance, but Ajido was a troublesome taru always seeking answers. This would start him off on a great quest.

After working deep within the horotoro ruins for some time, Ajido began to activate only power generators and such in an effort to better understand the ancients. Drawn to this power were 4 strange cardians thought long destroyed - the Aces. Stealing Ajido's work, they quickly made their escape before the Windurst guards could arrive. It was during this time that the Cat Burgaler, Nana Mihgo, came upon a strange book which she sold to Ajido. Though she did not know it, the book was the great ancient book of the gods. The book, which was given the first Star Sybil long ago, but when he opened it, he could nothing but blank pages.

Shocked, Ajido set off without the Star Sybil's permission to uncover the mystery. Seeking the only one old enough to remember clearly, he set off into the Yaguado stronghold to the north to speak with their elder.

The Sybil was not without her own operatives, and discovered Ajido's meeting with the Yagudo, and saw him as a threat to Windurst.

Sending her Sybil guards, under command of the mithra Semih Lafihna, Ajido was captured and placed deep within the underground dungeons of Horotoro. The Star Sybil saddened by what she had seen from one of the nations great magic users said a silent prayer for the return of their great hero, Karaha-Baruha.

Apururu not wanting to believe her brother was up to no good inlisted the help of the "wacky" professor Shantotto. Afraid her brothers magic, and soon life would be sapped by the dark dungeon the two of them hatched a plan to open the door to his cell.

Convincing all the professors of her brothers innocence she gathered up the 5 rings of the ministers to form a magical gauntlet. With it, she could open the door to save her brother, and she did so just in time. Her brother near unconsciousness got to his feet to thank his sister, but just then a strange figured appeared before them and with a flash of light he was gone... Ajido on the floor unconscious.

Back in Windurst after her brother had awoken, he explained to the Star Sybil and Apururu what he had discovered. The Yagudo had told him that the reason the area around Windurst was dying was because of the taru, who 20 years ago doomed their lands. Questioning the Star Sybil, the 6th ministry was revealed.

The Animastery as it was called, was run secretly by Karaha-Baruha to twist fate and save Windurst from it's doom, but things had turned out differently. Directing Ajido to the underground ministry, Ajido set off on his way to find out any information he could about the empty moonwell and blank book. But there was more trouble than that. The ace cardians and their small army had crowned a new king, a new master - Joker.

...what could this mean?

At the same time, Apururu was given a letter from her father, found on of all things, a mandragora. North in the Boyada tree it was discovered that her father had been locked up for some time, forced into captivity by the cardians which he had created. This was a story he needed to explain.. Zonpa-Zippa, their father had been locked away since just before the end of the Crystal War. What was unknown to him then had become clear over time. Karaha-Baruha had used his 4 cardians as templates for a super cardian to control them all, Joker. Giving joker the status of master, he bound his soul to the cardian. The battle of Windurst had taken his life however, when he had called Fenrir. With him dead, Joker could no longer function and shut down. The ace cardians now without a master began to short circuit, with no one to obey. Their line between black and white slowly faded into gray. They decided it would be best to find a way to bring Joker back to life. Kidnapping Zonpa, the only one who would suspect their plan, they set off on a 20 year mission. It was Ajido who activated the only ruins and gave the cardians enough power to begin their resurrection. But the problem is, unbeknownst to the cardians, the connection between Karaha and Joker was that of life and death. To bring Joker back, Karaha would have to be alive too. But how could joker be back when Karaha was dead?

With everyone returning to the Star Sybil with their news, but just then the dark figure from Ajido's jail appeared before the Sybil. Before they could get to her the figure vanished.

The Sybil decides she should take the chance and use the last of her powers to summon forth their once shining star of the moon fountain to guide them. But there she discovers what powers she had are no more, apparently gone, somehow. It was here joker made his presence known.

The new master of the cardians was not just a cardian, but a part of Karaha himself. Warping the Star Sybil's guards, he enlightened her that his rebirth was because she had wished he return. He needed her for one more wish..

Semih, gathering Ajido and Apururu back in Heaven's Tower began to formulate a plan to rescue her, but there are other factors at play too. The cardians had struck a deal with the Yagudo, who now demanded control of the horotoro ruins since the activation of them was against the treaty the two had signed after the war.

Semih would deal with them, but Ajido and Apururu would have to find a way to stop the cardians. If the cardians could be beaten, the Yagudo would retreat knowing their allies had been defeated. In the Animastery, Ajido had discovered that while part of Karaha may have been in the cardian, most of him was trapped with fenrir, inside the new body if the mysterious stranger who had threatened him and the star sybil.

...but had he really been there to hurt them, or warn them?

Ajido decides that there may be a way to save the Sybil, lure fenrir, and use the cardians power sources to reenergize the fountain. 3 Kuluu ancient songs hidden around the world were gathered in a race against time. The songs would lure the great beast in the double body to the fountain if they played it there. Then they could overload the cardians for a few seconds and in that time combine Joker and the dark figure, and hopefully Fenrir would prevail. Returning to the moon fountain, Ajido and Apururu fought their way through the cardians to the fountain and played the songs.

With a blast of magical energy the cardians collapse to the ground, and the dark figure appeared, drawn to its power. Using all of his magic Ajido combined the two as Apururu got the Sybil to safety. With a brilliant sparkle, the fountain exploded with light and one more the full moon was seen deep within it's water.

Fenrir had returned to windurst, and words back to the book of gods. But, it had all taken its toll on the Sybil. Her magic power had been sapped and she could no longer predict the future. But Windurst was safe.

It was then she remembered the words Fenrir had spoke to her 20 years ago: Though the path is dark, there is always light. She would be Windurt's light, and even without magic, guide them on the right path. With the help of great Windurstians like Ajido, they would see many great days ahead.
