Aries (renamable) and his traveling companion spend another year stuck in a port town during yet another Celestial Celebration. After finally finding a sailor looking for a new crew member, Aries only has to prove himself to the captain and outlast the month long celebration before he can continue his quest to learn more about the Celestial Beings and the truth behind the Celestial Mark he was born with.
Things take a turn, however, when Aries meets a woman who is as desperate to leave the city as he is but remains as trapped and stuck as he feels.
Will Aries be able to help this woman return home by the festival's end while also securing passage for his companion and himself? Or will he be continually stuck, forced to dwell on the past without ever moving forward?
