A magical girl bumps into an alluring guy on a night out during a festival, but he goes missing the next day. She is then sent on a dangerous mission to retrieve a magical artefact. But all is not as it seems, especially when things go wrong.
Kora is just a regular fairy waitressing in the musical city of Lyria. Every year, the city holds its summer festival to celebrate the change from spring to summer. And every year, Kora spends the night partying with her best friend.
When she meets a charming, enigmatic man at this year's festival, she can't resist making a seemingly-innocent deal with him. But then he disappears.
While trying to find a way to see him again, Kora is given a business proposal by her best friend. Kora must sneak into the one place where evil is allowed to roam free, and retrieve a dangerous magical artefact. Pushed out of her depth, she has to be quick to learn the ropes of the role she's been given.
But when the plan goes wrong, will Kora fight her way home, or will her heart succumb to the darkness?
This story is loosely inspired by the myth of Hades and Persephone. Danger, magic and allure can be found within.
