Ep. 4: Drachenangriff und die Legende der flackernden Flamme

4

The dragon attacks the train, forcing Touko, Kanata, Kaho, and Shouzou to flee into the forest while Benio and the rest of the caravan are killed in the attack. They manage to find refuge with the Tree People, who explain the dragon is actually the guardian deity of Kaho's Crystal Village, which has been driven mad due to interference from the Spiders. The Tree People promise to escort the group to the nearest village. In the Capital, Koushi continues his skyfire experiments and heads to the Central Archive to learn more. He learns of the history of the Fire Hunters, and how only their sickles are able slay fire fiends and fallbeasts. He also learns that humanity once launched a satellite into space called the "Flickering Flame", and it is prophesized that the person who can recover the Flickering Flame will be declared the Lord of Fire Hunters. Unable to learn anything more, Koushi decides to attend the Boat Festival with Kira and Hinako. (Source: Wikipedia)
