It tells the story of Ariel; the granddaughter of a wise old grandmother who has ben turned a ten-year-old and was given a simple task: to go through the forest to Nineveh, the nearby town, and to meet a certain person while visiting the town. Eventually, Ariel uses this quest to hone her magic skills to fight the ultimate battle against evil. An all-directional battle screen is used that allows enemies to attack from the rear, the side, and the front.
