Machines have infiltrated the peaceful Cosmorian Empire and assumed the identities of Emperor Itaka and several key officials. When royal twins are born to the Empress Lilia, one is covertly spirited away from the mother in defiance of an ancient code that forbids two surviving heirs. As the planet becomes consumed by the machines, the only hope lies in the valiant Prince Jimsa, and Affle, who was raised by a prostitute, unaware of her royal origins.

The machine race known only as the Enemy has swiftly taken over the Cosmoralian Empire, but Queen Lilia and her son, Prince Jimsa, manage to flee. The only place to escape to, however, is the desert wasteland where the elements, predatory beasts, and bandits pose almost as great a threat to survival as the machine invaders.

Knowledge surfaces that Prince Jimsa's twin sister, Affle, bears the red-dragon birthmark, and survived despite being condemned to death by decree of the Cosmorian Empire at birth. Jimsa and Affle finally meet in the midst of war. However, after years of being raised as the son of a prostitute, Affle has become a skeptical ruffian and initially refuses to join in Jimsa's fight for the Empire.
