The story begins in the desolate wastelands of Bark-Howt in 1893. Kenzo Siegfried, a Japanese fox and his valkyrian partner, Theresa Le, a German calico cat, were on their first deployment under a human organization known as Blue Angeles, based in Zagreb, Croatian state. The deployment began as a reconnaissance mission to scout the land for any additional elemental beings (minions) created by Guinevere and Aeolus.
A few days into their mission, they found themselves in the middle of a crossfire between Guinevere’s minions and gunfire from another human organization, Zeta. Theresa was severely injured, forcing Kenzo to drag her back to the headquarters. While doing such, Theresa was slowly forming feelings for Kenzo. After dropping the injured calico cat back at the Blue Angeles base, the management told him to go alone, to which he refuses. Facing threats of being fired, he then went out alone. At this point, he was running out of food. While trying to forage for some in the desert, a he came across an minion scout. The scout immediately called for reinforcements, with a full army of them charging towards him. Only equipped with a small blade, Kenzo stood his ground, determined to finish them. However, the elemental minions soon overwhelmed him, forcing him to retreat back to base being chased. Not far from the base, he was soon caught up to, being drowned by Guinevere’s water minions. A Blue Angeles guard notices, blasting a bulk of the minions with a rocket, forcing them to leave Kenzo behind.
After waking up in the base, he blames Blue Angeles for hardly providing him with any necessities on his first ever mission. The organization told him it was part of a valkyrie’s test and if he didn’t like it he could leave, which he promptly did. Leaving the headquarters for good, he finds a green dragon, named Lucoa Nakamura. She tells him that she was also used to be part of the Blue Angeles Organization, while also being unfairly treated. By then, she was already 3 years into being a valkyrie, but was still treated like a newbie. She was forced to being a solitary dragon for 2 months until Kenzo found her.
Lucoa shows Kenzo where her supply of food comes from: The sewage from the HQ.
Apparently. the higher ups in the HQ had a surplus of food each month, throwing out old food into the sewage. Lucoa grabs a large handful of the sewage, handing it to Kenzo. She tells him that his stomach would get used to the toxins like she did, as long as he cooked it.
Kenzo, disgusted, initially rejected the food, but after a week, became desperate and started bringing the food with him. Unable to initially stomach the food, he grew weak, and his consistent encounters with individual minions made him grow weak.
Just then, he saw Theresa again, on a solo mission under the Blue Angeles organization. He approaches her.
Theresa recognises him, allowing him to fight alongside her as she required help as well. In return, she shares her food with Kenzo.
Kenzo shares his findings from Lucoa, telling her that the Blue Angeles had been lacking their due diligence to ensure the welfare and safety of their valkyries, but Theresa disagreed. After 2 days of fighting alongside each other, Theresa split off, not wanting to deal with Kenzo’s pleads.
Kenzo, not wanting to return to sewage food, began trekking and battling across the lands to find another human organization. However, as days turn to months under the blazing hot Vulcan, he collapses in the desolate dunes, starving, dehydrated, and tired.
Not long later, he wakes up on a matress, with clear tubes connected to the back of his hand. He looks around, finding himself in a wooden shed, filled with similar beds around him. The air was rather cool as the room filled with a yellowish-orange hue. He was suddenly startled by a 3-foot tall black raven, known as Sylver Kyivsma.
Realizing he had been saved, he thanks Kyiv and attempts to head out, but was stopped. Kyiv explained that his body was suffering from a serious form of malnutrition and that he needed to eat.
While eating Kyiv’s simple borscht, he asks her where they are. She tells him that they are in the city of Kherson, roughly 100 miles southwest from where Kenzo was found. (Yes, Kenzo did travel that far, from Murkatinnya to Southeastern Howlton.) She formally introduces Kenzo to the Raven Organization, a charity-valkyrian organization hybrid.
