In order to liberate the boy and his sister from the merciless mafia, Hugo summons rats to save his sister from execution, however, Hugo loses consciousness after using the conjuration powers. Hugo has a recurring dream in which he is guided further inland near two mountains. The Macula spreads quickly in his body and soon Hugo reaches a state of partial paralysis, he further hallucinates that a tree and pond that was touched magically stop the Macula. Hugo realizes that it is a sign of the cure for his illness but before he can find more answers in his sleep he abruptly wakes up in a cart being held by his Amicia accompanied by Beatrice and Lucas the boy who was saved by Hugo.
Bee Farmers:
On their way to the Red City, they were spotted by one of the members of the bee farmer forcing the group to get separated, Amicia decided to kill the members of the bee farmers as retaliation for their attempt to eliminate her mother. After fighting her way through the goons of the gang, Hugo again passes out.
The Red City:
After reaching the outskirts of the Red City, the group took a sigh of relief and imagined how the town could be their home however the peaceful day became horrific after Macula's disease started to take over Hugo's body leaving the boy frail and fragile, Desperate to save Hugo, Amicia and Beatrice(The Mother of the siblings) decided to find Magister Vaudin the well know Alchemist for treating the Macula disease
Venturing further into the city the group witnessed the enormity of the plague in the rural parts of the land. Keeping the spread of the pandemic at bay the rulers of the city allowed the army to quarantine and exterminate the residents in order to keep hold of the macula disease. Misusing their authority some of the soldiers tried to kill the siblings however they were quickly out-matched by the survival skills of Amicia and met their demise.
NightShed:
The family was able to figure out the whereabouts of the Alchemist who happened to be a very brusque man however agreed to check the condition of Hugo, Beatrice was able to stabilize the spread of the disease for a very brief moment however it quickly regained control of the body. The only possible solution for the stability was a tonic of NightShad which could only be acquired from a specialized Herbalist thus both Amicia and Lucas embark on the journey to find the medicine.
The Spread Of Macula Virus:
As they reach the outskirts of the city hoping to find the herbalist before they can venture any further the entire city is swarmed and ambushed by the horde of rats spreading the Macula disease hence killing hundreds of the people along its path, the soldiers of the city tried to contain the spread of the disease by using war strategy however all their efforts were in vain and were quickly overcome by the brute force of the rats. As the city was under attack the herbalist also became the victim of ambush and met his demise soon after. Amicia and Hugo had no way to go therefore the siblings decided to head toward the residence of the herbalist hoping to find the NightShad to stabilize their condition of Hugo.
The Herbalist:
They eventually reached the residence of the herbalist however the property was being patrolled by the soldiers of the Court of Provence who were searching for specific plants and herbs that could keep them immune from the Macula disease. Amicia was shocked by the killing and the spreading of the disease resulting in her mental and physical health taking a toll on her. Hugo decided to acquire the tonic himself after getting permission from Amicia who hesitated at first but agreed. After waiting for Hugo for some time Amicia decided to go after his brother who was captured by some rogue soldiers of the court and threatened to kill him.
Seeing her brother under threat Amicia couldn't control herself hence killing all the soldiers in her path however she was quickly overpowered by the Beast and was brought before the Court soldiers for their execution, Lucas uses a combination of alchemic chemicals thus blinding their captive while grabbing some of the NightShad from the storehouse and fleeing the basement.
Fleeing on the Ship:
On reaching the rendezvous point the group delivers the NightShad to Vaudin to make the combination of alchemic chemicals to stabilize their deteriorating condition of Hugo, after treating and analyzing their health of Hugo, the older alchemist broke the worst news Amicia has ever heard that Hugo was in his final stages of Macula disease and no tonic or medicine could save him from his demise and advised the family to take Hugo to Marseille in the Order main headquarter where his Macula disease can further be treated and contain from spreading any further and sends both Amicia and Lucas to make contact with the ship captain who would likely head towards the Order's headquarters.
As they embark on the journey Amicia becomes restless and falls into deep anxiety after Vaudin's news about the condition of Hugo and she is determined to fight till the end and devise a permanent solution for Macula's disease. Soon After that Amicia recalls that there was a painting on the wall of Vaudin depicting two mountains on an island with Phoneix flying over it. For the group, this more enough proof of their dreams of Hugo being true and was only the beacon of hope for them to follow.
The Order:
Making their way through the docks of the city the two finally meet the captain of the ship by the name of Isaac who has deep connections with the Order, as they reach the city the entire city is overwhelmed and abused by rats, exterminating each and everything along its path. Amicia immediately rushes toward the location of Hugo to keep him safe from the frenzy rats however she is shocked to see the brutal treatment of Vaudin, as she approaches Hugo, the entire building collapses and Vaudin gets buried alive causing his immediate death. Amicia gathers the group and guides her family to Isaac's ship before the complete decimation of the Red City.
Amicia and her family sail towards Marseille, however, their path is blocked by the wreckage, as the family is clearing the path to resume the journey, Amicia realizes that no medicine on earth can cure the macula disease of Hugo as it has spread to its final stages and the only possible chance of Hugo's survival was to head towards the Island with two islands from the dream of Hugo however this possible outcome would not be possible without Beatrice as she was very loyal to Marseille and the Order.
The Wall and Factions:
Before Amicia could share her thoughts on the possible solution to the condition of Hugo their ship was ambushed by a bunch of mercenaries who went by the name of "The Wall" killing Issac in action, Amicia managed to take down a couple of their goons however Amicia was quickly overpowered and captured by the faction and put forward Amicia before the Leader, Seeing his sister in danger and possibly executed by the leader of the mercenaries he gets enraged and summons the frenzy rats with full force. The Family was later divided into two groups( Beatrice and Lucas, Amicia and Hugo) the latter didn't want to reunite with Beatrice as they wanted to take their change by following the dream of Hugo to the island with two mountains.
