Stripped of their magical powers, the villains now live in total isolation, forgotten by the world. But hidden in the Forbidden Fortress is a Dragon's Eye: the key to true darkness and the villains' only hope of escape. Only the cleverest, evilest, nastiest villain can find it... who will it be? Mal - At sixteen, Maleficent's daughter is the most talented student at Dragon Hall, best known for her evil schemes. And when she hears about the search for the Dragon's Eye, Mal thinks this could be her chance to prove herself the cruelest of them all... Evie - Having been castle-schooled for years, Evil Queen's daughter, Evie, doesn't know the ins and outs of Dragon Hall. But she's a quick study, especially after she falls for one too many of Mal's little tricks. Jay - As the son of Jafar, Jay is a boy of many talents: stealing and lying, to name a couple. Jay and Mal have been frenemies forever, and he's not about to miss out on the quest for the Dragon's Eye. Carlos - Cruella De Vil's son may not be the bravest, but he's certainly clever. Carlos's inventions may be just what they need to end their banishment for good. In the quest for the Dragon's Eye, these kids are proof that just because you come from an evil family tree, being good isn't so bad. ~

*A path beyond war (Sensou o Koeta Michi)* follows the journey of Kenzo Ishiro, a young swordsman from the peaceful village of Takashima, whose mastery of the blade is so profound that he can match the strength of 200 warriors. Trained by a relentless father, Kenzo is consumed by the question: *How can war be stopped in a world where only power seems to matter?* Though his skill is unmatched and his katana a deadly force, Kenzo struggles to reconcile his abilities with his desire for peace. His best friend, Kuroshi Tetsuya, a swordsman whose talent rivals Kenzo's own, believes in a different approach - seeking peace through avoidance, not combat. While Kuroshi possesses an incredible talent of his own, his skills and intuition in battle give him the ability to rival Kenzo's strength, even though his path to peace often conflicts with Kenzo's own. As they uncover the terrifying truth behind the invaders and their controlling force, Kenzo begins to question whether the answer to war lies in more than just brute force. *A path beyond war (Sensou o Koeta Michi)* is a tale of friendship, sacrifice, and self-discovery, where two extraordinary swordsmen face the cost of battle and search for a deeper truth. Their journey will reveal the profound question that drives them both: *Can war ever truly be stopped, or is the only solution to fight until the very end?*
