Synopsis
A group of mysterious white-haired children has been spotted at different times and places in Europe for over 500 years. Always with the looks of 11 years old, they behave way more mature than they should be, never grow, and seem to have supernatural power. What they have kept being after is a girl, and all the connection they have is a picture with a crescent moon. Now, in the year of 2012, an athletic boy named Tohma is about to be involved in this centuries-long mystery.

- 1. From the limits of darknessNow viewing2004-10-0424mA man sits alone in his study surrounded by scrawlings and mumbling about a forthcoming apocalypse as we see a photo of a group of ageless young albinos called the Befort Children. We switch focus several times as we follow the Children throughout history - in Holland, where their attempts to convince a young boy called Conrad to join them fail after they send him a postcard depicting a strange image, to Sweden at the turn of the century, and to the South Eastern Islands where they arrive too late at the bedside of a dead woman named Serafine who has been painting the same image as on the postcard. Strangely, one of the Children, Mel suffers amnesia and panics, getting captured by the strange young man Duma and his cronies while the other Children escape. Fast-forward to 2012 in the Islands, and the roguish Toma practices his martial arts before discovering a young girl, Helga, lying on a statue silently.
- 2. Wandering feelings2004-10-1124mThe Children visit Sweden in 1901, where Palza/Conrad is being awarded the Nobel prize for discovering X rays. Flash forward to 2012, and while Helga is incarcerated in Chikao, the Children investigate more into Serafine's paintings, but are attcked by mysterious shadow creatures. The Children part ways once again - some to find someone who they believe to be the reincarnation of Serafine, others to try and find Mel and Palza to deliver their memories to them. Helga and Chit escape from Chikao once more, while Thoma has srange nightmares and can't shake Helga from his mind. The Children, Helga and Chit all board the same train bound for the mainland, and Thoma is left with doubts in his mind...
- 3. The place I want to go to2004-10-1824mA policeman, Cooks, visits a family where one of the Children used to live, in an attempt to find out what's going on. Helga and Chit are recaptured on the mainland and sent back to Chikao, which please neither of them - especially since Chit is getting sent to another orphanage. A crazed speedboat driver (the man from the first episode with the cryptic ramblings) crashes into the boat carrying Chit, however, and Thoma happens to be on hand to rescue him, so they set out together to rescue Helga once more.
- 4. Shinon2004-10-2524mChit and Thoma head back to Chikao to rescue Helga, but have to take extra care since there seems to be policemen searching the island for escaped prisoners. They succeed in breaking her out, but Helga is totally reticent towards Thoma despite how he repeatedly saves her life. As they escape through the forest they come across one of the prisoners, Shinon, who is in no way what she seems - and Helga has disturbing visions associated with her that Thoma and Chit cannot see. The "policemen" advise them to forget about Shinon, and they escape from Chikao once again - meanwhile, one of the other "prisoners" has found their way elsewhere...
- 5. Kokkuri Island2004-11-0124mThoma brings Chito and Helga to his secret island, Kokkuri, where he's made provision for hiding out. When Chito runs off into the forests to get fruits for her, Helga is completely absorbed in her painting and fails to notice. Thoma ends up running into the forest after him with Helga following behind despite Thoma's repeated insistence that she'll just get in the way. Meanwhile, on the mainland, Cooks continues to investigate the Children. The old man from the end of the last episode is brought to the police station but dies soon after, and is identified as a man named Glass who went missing several years ago. Video footage of him in custody shows his dead mother sitting beside him until she suddenly vanishes.
- 6. Kokkuri Island (2)2004-11-0824mHelga and Thoma are pursuing Chit into the forest. They find him unconscious and covered in killer bees. Thoma is apiphobic, and hides in a bush grimacing while Helga has to calmly rescue Chit. Thoma and Chit then run into Talrant, one of the Children, who is still trying to trace the next incarnation of Christina and is attacked by a shadowy creature again. Thoma spars with him for a while and almost has the upper hand, but Talrant breaks out a big shiny robot called Wanda to do his bidding and scare off Thoma. Meanwhile Cooks and Alice do more investigation into GED, and the Children re-iterate their frustration over their inability to find Christina.
- 7. The Children of Belfort2004-11-1524mCooks and Hollingworth travel to Clairmont and listen to Cooks' recording of the diary of a scientist named Radcliffe. Cooks' grandfather witnessed the death of Befort's Children in 1901, discovering a strange black stone at the scene. On handing this to Radcliffe, he begins to investigate it with the aid of X-rays and discovers numerous indecipherable, constantly shifting inscriptions inside. The GED Project was then set up to investigate the stone, but Radcliffe eventually discovers that the British government was already aware of Befort's Children. We discover that the children are named after a small village in Belgium, where the earliest record of their existence (1489) was found. However, Radcliffe was driven mad by his obsession with the Children was eventually discredited and died. Meanwhile, the Children are already regrouping at Clairmont, where Hasmodai is once more entrapped by his past memories of family. Agi saves him by returning his memory recording.
