The ancient city of Heian, now called Kyoto, faced internal strife. Concerned about the future of his realm, the emperor organizes an "Onmyo festival" to seek guidance on the city's fate. A group of nobles, including the Minister of the Left, Fujiwara no Masayuki, and his brother, the Minister of the Right, Fujiwara no Mitsuhiro, gather in the shrine within the Seiryo chamber. The Onmyoji predict the future by interpreting signs from various sources such as evil spirits, weather, the calendar, and Feng Shi. When Mitsuhiro questions about reading the stars, the imperial Onmyoji, Yasunori, gives a vague response. Another Onmyoji, Kamo no Tadayuki, mentions a powerful curse that they cannot dispel.
