Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit - S01
精霊の守り人 , Guardian of the Sacred Spirit
On the edge of a catastrophic drought, the Star Readers of the Shin Yogo Empire must find a way to avoid widespread famine. Ancient myths tell of the first emperor and eight warriors who killed a water demon to prevent a great drought and save the land that would become Shin Yogo. If a water demon were to appear again, its death could bring salvation. But the water demon appears inside the body of the emperor's son, Prince Chagum, and by the emperor's order, Chagum must be sacrificed to save the empire. Meanwhile, a mysterious spear-wielding mercenary named Balsa arrives in Shin Yogo on business. After saving Chagum from a thinly veiled assassination attempt, she is asked by Chagum's mother to protect him from the emperor and his hunters. Bound by a sacred vow she once made, Balsa accepts. Seirei no Moribito follows Balsa as she sets out to protect Chagum, exploring the beauty of life, nature, family, and the bonds that form between strangers.
