Ten years later, strange things begin to happen. One day, while out in the forest with her friend, Miles, she hears a strange sound off in the distance.

The city is invaded, and Miles is taken by the strange men. She watches helplessly as he, and the strange men, vanish before her eyes. Ashe, determined to rescue her friend, is thrown into the world from her dreams. Magic is real, and she must now learn what magic she can in order to save the ones she loves.
