[edit] Plot
Three characters have been revealed. The protagonist is a 16-year-old blonde boy named Eldy. His past is mysterious as the people of his village found him in his early childhood. The female lead is a brunette named Ritzia, who is the same age as Eldy. Ritzia is a priestess who can listen to voices of the planet and nature. The Rabite creature Puck became Ritzia's pet when he was separated from his family. Eldy and Ritzia are both childhood friends. Their adventure begins after the invasion of their home town by a foreign country's army.
