They call her "Merines", a legendary being who can control the ship with only the power of her mind. They pursue her for their own ends.

To save his sister, Senel and his party must uncover the deepest secrets of a legendary ship, and in the process, discover the bonds that bind them all.

Detailed Plot Summary

This Tale begins with a young man named Senel Coolidge. Together with his sister, Shirley Fennes, Senel becomes shipwrecked on the island called the Legacy. When Senel awakens, he notices that the still unconscious Shirley has becomes sick, so Senel puts her into some nearby fresh water. Soon after, a man named Will Rarnard enters and questions what Senel is doing to Shirley. Senel explains that Shirley becomes sick whenever her body is exposed to salt water, and by keeping her in fresh water, she will become healthy again. Senel and Will are interrupted by a mysterious man who has come for Shirley. With Senel and the man busy fighting, a bandit named Moses Sandor kidnaps the Shirley. The man, seeing his goal being taken away, flies away after the Moses and Shirley. Will explains who the man was to Senel and tells him that he can take him to his hide out.

Senel and Will head back to Will’s town, named Werites Beacon. Upon arrival, some one calls for Will to come with them. Will tells Senel to search the town by himself. Senel eventually finds his way to a fountain in the town. There he meets a mysterious young boy. The boy recognizes Senel for being an Alliance Marine Troops, and offers 50,000 Gald to who ever can beat Senel in a fight. As Senel prepares to fight, the townspeople realize that he is an Eren, an Eres user and start to back down. Then, out of no where, two people calling themselves the “Bantam Bouncers” appear in a rather dramatic way. They declare that fighting is not allowed in this town and that Senel should stop what he is doing. Senel, becoming angered by all that was happening, decides to answer them by beating the crap out of them. Will shows up and at seeing what Senel has done, arrests him for breaking the law and fighting, as he is the Sheriff, after all.

After being thrown in jail by Will, Senel is soon visited by a woman named Madam Musette. Madam Musette is able to convince Will to release Senel and let him look for Shirley. Will agrees and also is asked by Madam Musette to accompany Senel in his rescue attempt, as he needs to look for a girl who went there earlier. Will and Senel start their journey to Moses’ hide out, but must first travel through the Misty Mountains to get there. After working their way through the mountains, they see a young girl on a bridge. Will, wondering if it may be the girl who left earlier for the hide out, tries to talk to her. The girl, who turns out to be a swordswoman named Chloe Valens, attacks the two, mistaking them for bandits. After a short skirmish, Will explains who they are to Chloe. Chloe understands and says that she too was going to save Shirley out of her own resolve. The three are suddenly attacked by some of Moses’ men, they decide to run away. When they lose the bandits, Chloe leaves Will and Senel, saying she does things on her own. Senel and Will continue their way out of the mountain.

Thus, the race for Shirley begins. Little does Senel know, that besides the bandit named Moses, and the mysterious man who can control monsters, there are others after the power that Shirley has. As the Tale continues, only more hardships will come to Senel and his friends…
