Nobody talks about this one. A medieval fantasy so low-budget it's almost honest, two episodes that know exactly what they are and don't apologize for the cheap animation or the cliffhanger that cuts the story in half. If you're hunting for the weird corners of early 2000s adaptations, this is pure archaeological material: a prologue to a game that refuses to feel like anything except a prologue.

In Fuujin Year 130, an age when magic and gods hold great sway, the small southern country of Randia pins its hopes of revival on young Prince Alfred. Legend claims his bloodline lets him release the Seal of Power, and that prospect frightens the mighty Zenon Country, which came out on top of the great war on the Old Fuujin Continent two years earlier. When an assassin targets Alfred, he is rescued by Welles, an ordinary soldier who has long fought beside him and is also his close friend. On the battlefield the pair are known as the Galloping Winds. With Welles' younger sister Teefa, they take up the struggle for their homeland, and Rea, a once loyal retainer, comes back as war threatens again. As more people are pulled into the conflict, the truth behind the seal and the prince's lineage begins to surface in this two-episode action fantasy OVA.
