Synopsis:

Arusu’s unwavering faith in magic is tested when she's unexpectedly pulled into a realm governed by powerful witches. This world operates on a stark contrast to her own; instead of playful spells and wonder, the witches systematically exploit the native sprites – creatures embodying the very essence of magic – forcing them into servitude. Stripped of her familiar reality, Arusu is confronted with the harsh implications of a world where magic has been weaponized and commodified. The series follows her journey as she grapples with this unsettling new environment, driven to challenge the witches' dominion and perhaps rediscover the true potential of magic itself. It’s a story exploring themes of belief, exploitation, and the responsibility that comes with power, set against a backdrop of a world both beautiful and deeply troubled.
