The Island had a custom. To maintain peace, once a decade, a sacrifice was offered to a fiend on the island. However, one year, the fiend grew violent before the next sacrifice was due.

Setsuna must leave with her safeguards for the farthest land, where the ceremony of sacrifice will be held.

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

I am Setsuna is a role-playing video game in which players take control of a party of characters, navigating environments from a fixed top-down perspective. Locations, such as towns and areas outdoors and in dungeons where enemy encounters take place, are reached by navigating the game's overworld. In towns, the party can talk with villagers to reveal plot elements. Items such as potions or stones used to escape battles are sold in shops in towns. There are a small number of side quests tied to each of the playable characters, unlocked when all characters are recruited and triggered by having that character in the current party. Enemies are represented on the field by icons: contact with the icons initiates a battle. Battles take place in the environments where the enemy is encountered, rather than shifting to a specific battle arena. Characters' health and magic meter are respectively represented by HP and MP. Characters fight using a version of the turn based Active Time Battle (ATB) system: after each action is taken by a character in battle, an ATB gauge must fill again before another action is taken. Available actions include attacking with weapons; using special combat abilities or magic, which are lumped together as "Techs"; or using an item. If more than one character's ATB gauges are full, they will perform actions in the order in which instructions are issued to them. Each character may equip talismans which house interchangeable Spritnite crystals, which unlock Techs. Some Techs can synergize together into a new ability. If one of these "Double Techs" is available, the "Techs" menu will change to "Combo". Each time an action is taken or a character's ATB gauge is allowed to remain full, a separate "Setsuna" gauge begins to fill. When full, it grants a "Momentum" charge which may be expended at the player's discretion to grant power boosts to the character's actions. These boosts can include dealing multiple versions of the attack, recovering health, or dealing critical damage to an enemy. After combat, defeated enemies grant experience points which raise a character's health and magic points, with other statistical elements only changing using weapons. They also drop items and materials, which are influenced by the way enemies are killed and can be sold for in-game currency.
