Sheru doesn't wait for rescue, she enters hell itself because Ashram is suffering there. The OVA burns through three episodes like it's racing against time, piling reincarnation, soul possession, and apocalyptic creature swarms into a fantasy story that refuses to let you catch your breath. Ashram stands in the wreckage looking like the coolest doomed man alive, the orchestral score swells, and you realize this sequel was built for people who actually cared what happened to these characters after Lodoss War ended.

Sheru's dreams begin to show her a past life as Pirotesse and a lover named Ashram, who is suffering in torment. His tormentor is the soul of Barbas, disguised as Beld of Marmo, their former king. Taking these visions as a cry for help, Sheru resolves to enter the Chaos Realm with the Chaos Ring and rescue him. Across the land, creatures sealed away for centuries start to reappear, and Redon and his companions are called to fight once more. As Sheru's quest and the heroes' battle draw their paths together again, the fate of Crystania comes to rest on their shoulders.
