Ardoria was once a prodigious world that breathed mirth and jocundity. But now, it is the remaining parts of an asunder world torn by darkness and demons. And as an infinite war still sings between the goods and the evils, the Black Queen is baring her cards too fast for the safety of all existence. Power lusted, Lysithea is ready to bring hell upon heaven to gain the ultimate throne, even if it means butchering every single head in the entire kingdoms. And as a long awaited threat comes to fulfill what was left undone, all her plans lay dangerously on the brink of failure. Propelled headlong in this new world of darkness and secrets, Celestia's arrival stirs ancient prophecies sung by the first around their fires.

Being one and only remaining heir to a throne crafted by the gods themselves, Celestia will have to dig her path through hell itself to regain the throne left upon her shoulders. Being left with little options, she holds only one solution to break a curse casted eons ago. And as fate has once wished, the young princess, accompanied with her friends, will have to search earths and skies for an artifact that is told to save all. But will she succeed, knowing that a traitor is plotting against their every move?
