Ep 1. Barusa, the Female Bodyguard

In a world where humans and spirits coexist, a powerful queen known as the Spirit Master reigns over the land. However, not everyone is content with her rule, including the imperial family who seeks to overthrow her. In this first episode, we are introduced to Barusa, a skilled female bodyguard who has been appointed to protect the second prince Chagum.

Chagum is believed to be possessed by a water spirit and is therefore deemed a threat to the emperor's authority. Barusa, along with her partner the shaman Balsa, must keep Chagum safe while he undergoes a crucial ritual that will determine his fate. If the ritual is unsuccessful, Chagum will be killed by the emperor's men.

As they travel through the city, Barusa and Balsa encounter a group of bandits who attempt to capture Chagum. Using her impressive sword skills, Barusa quickly dispatches them and helps the group escape the city. However, their journey is far from over as they must travel across treacherous terrain to reach their destination safely.

Along the way, Barusa reveals that she has a personal connection to Chagum as she had promised his mother to protect him before her death. This deepens her resolve to keep him out of harm's way and highlights her strong sense of duty and loyalty.

As they continue their journey, they come across a village that has been attacked by a water spirit. The villagers believe Chagum to be responsible and demand he be handed over to them. Barusa and Balsa defend Chagum, but they must also find a way to send the water spirit back to its realm.

In this first episode, we see the beautiful and complex world of Guardian of the Sacred Spirit come to life. From the mystical spirits to the exciting fight scenes, viewers are transported to a world filled with adventure and danger. Barusa, with her quiet strength and unwavering determination, stands out as a captivating protagonist who will do whatever it takes to protect those entrusted to her care.
