Description: In Katya Granger's colorful comic, Hana, Sparks, and Aiden adventure towards Naito, a prophet, while escaping from a mob of followers who are closing in on them. The trio decide to cut through Mount Blaze, a fiery volcano despite Hana's trauma with fire. As they venture through the volcano, Hana has flashbacks of her sister's unfortunate death in a house fire. Amongst her flashbacks, she recites a folktale about a powerful lady who sacrifices her life for a foreigner. The folktale predicts that the foreigner will be reborn with the powers he wanted, but will also bring along the end of the world. The folktale foreshadows the story of Aiden, a foreigner from another universe that has fire-shooting powers. Naito explains to the children that Aiden is somehow involved in the end of the world.
