Princess of Rolante, the Wind Kingdom, and commander of its amazon army, Riesz is highly looked upon by all the subjects of King Joster, her father, an experienced leader and diplomat. Like her mother before her, she leads the patrols round the castle, dealing with monsters and making sure the kingdom continues to live up to the name of The Castle That Never Fell. Her mother, Minerva, passed away while giving birth to her brother, Eliott, after which Riesz took it upon herself to serve as a mother to Eliott, and also to train him in martial arts. Although he doesn’t always show it, Alma, Riesz and Eliott’s guardian and former amazon warrior under Minerva’s mother Galura, reminds her that he does look up to her.

One day while skipping his training, Eliott is approached by two “magicians”, Bill and Ben, who perform a couple of simple magic tricks, and promise to show him more if he takes them to a basement. He leads them down into the castles depths, where the wind that protects the castle from attack is controlled and originates. They promise to bring back his mother as part of their magic trick, but for this he must turn off the wind, saying that Riesz told him not to do this only because she wanted to keep the secret of seeing their mother to herself. Riesz arrives just as the wind is deactivated, and puts herself between Eliott and the magicians. Bill and Ben remind Riesz that her father will be in danger of attack, and she runs to protect him with Eliott, but he falls behind and is kidnapped by Bill and Ben.

Emerging from the underground, she fights her way through the invading ninjas to the throne room, where she finds her father at death’s door and hears his last plea for her to look after Eliott. The castle aflame and the inhabitants on the run, the enemy forces are ordered by their female leader to return to Navarre and report their victory. The attack over, the wind returns. Riesz, unsure of what to do to save Eliott, heads for Palo with tears in her eyes, to catch a boat to Jadd in hopes of meeting the Priest of Light in Wendel.
