Synopsis
Earthsea is a world of archipelago where magic exists on a daily basis. There, an abnormal situation occurred one after another, with dragons that were not supposed to appear in the world where humans live suddenly appearing and beginning to eat, and the wizard lost his magical powers.
Ged, a wizard called the “Great Sage,” or commonly known as Haitaka (Sugawara Bunta), who has been traveling to find out the cause, meets Prince Allen (Okada Junichi), who is on the way out of the country by stabbing his father, the king of Enrad (Kobayashi Kaoru).
Allen was scared of the “shadows” that were covering the world. Allen travels with the Haytaka and arrives in the beautiful port town of Hort Town.
However, the city lost its former brilliance, and drugs and human purchases were rampant. When Allen tries to save Teru (Teshima Aoi), a girl who was attacked by a human-hunting rabbit (Kagawa Teruyuki), on the street corner, she is attacked by a rabbit and is captured. Haitaka rescues Allen, who was about to be sold off as a slave.
Then, Allen visits the house of Tenor (Kazebuki Jun), a shrine maiden from the old Hakutaka, and meets Teru again.
As he helps out at Tenor’s home with fields, Allen gradually regains his humanity.
Teru gradually begins to open his mind to Allen, but the “shadow” that Allen creates and lingers with him rots his heart.
Meanwhile, Haitaka senses that the wizard, Simo (Tanaka Yuko), is the source of the world’s balance being about to fall apart.
The spider, who continues to hold a grudge against Hitaka due to a past incident, decides to use the “shadow” in Allen’s heart to defeat Hitaka…!?
