Zerit is looking for The Tower, the former center of human civilization on Kolony. He crash-lands on an island and finds a young man named Fango. Fango has lived with his robot tutor since his uncle died, and had thought he was the lone human survivor in the world. Back at the Village of the Maser, Erha prepares to search for Zerit because he hasn't reported in. The elders of the village give her a map of The Tower to take to Zerit, though the map doesn't say where The Tower is. When they see the Second Moon in the night sky, they send her off in a hurry, because there's some connection between the appearance of the moon and finding The Tower. Erha is named after the Second Moon. Zerit revives a vehicle on Fango's island, and continues his search for The Tower, taking a reluctant Fango with him.

Fango and Zerit are lost in a fog, called the Sea of Mists, and they crash their vehicle. Erha is flying around looking for Zerit. Fango and Zerit find that they are on an island of dwarves, who have built a tower to live in. Granny Tenia, an elder, has seen them coming, and they are soon captured by her daughter and the current leader, Ivolina Yugher. Erha lands nearby and is overwhelmed by spider flies, and the dwarves rescue and capture her as well. A sewer rat falls in love with Fango. Ivolina decides to use her captives' equipment to raid the Village of the Maser (from which Erha and Zerit have come), and then to use the vehicles and weapons of the village to capture The Tower, since she says she knows where The Tower is located.
