In the modern, current era of Evangeline, a world of divinity odd to our own, a woman of the name: Eden must travel to the land of the Seraphim to rescue the land below. In this mystical dimension, there are 12 lands. These 12 lands have magic of their own, specializing in different areas. Take Geuines (Joo-yoo-neese), The land of Grimoire, their magic classifying as Tech and Mechanic magic. They are best known for their prized invention: The telewards- a gadget used to transport in mere seconds to another location with a teleward (Not recommended for (wo)men with child).
The land of the Seraphim, ruled by Serapisca (Sara-pis-cka), and inhabited by feathered winged elves with healing and light magic. There have been myths that this land had been once part of the Pangaea, until one day, a portal from a world called "The Yonderlands" (Our world, Earth) had constructed itself in a portion of the land and it had soon been filled by humans. After that, the Seraphim had arrived from eggs and cleansed the land by lifting it up from the rest of the world, keeping it above the clouds and sealing the portal. Once every year, an eclipse called the "Vera Eclipse" appears and reveals the floating land through the clouds above the once pink oceans and turns all waters blue. There haven't any proof that this land truly does exist in Evangeline, since it is only folklore, or is it?
Recently, Risigua (Res-ih-joo-ah), a land in Evangeline wielding abilities from magic circles (begin the book to discover the potential of these "magic circles") has been invaded by a mystical force lead by a wicked Sorceress. The land is at it's darkest of times. A woman named Eden is hand selected by the Queen of Risigua to be their savior.
