When the lotus closes at noon, the kingdoms tremble in silence.
The prophecies have always whispered of still waters, coiled serpents, and hearts bound by fate - but never of the cost.

Nine souls are chosen.
A servant with a hidden crown.
A prince who commands the sun.
A knight who carries the weight of the dead.
A dancer who blooms with every duel.
A painter whose brush can birth worlds.
A commoner whose mirror soothes the soul.
A flirty ribbon-bearer whose touch binds kings and traitors alike.
A poet-prince guided by the stars.
A boy with a bow who turns memory into music.

Together, they set out beneath cherry blossoms that fall without wind, called to unravel the magic stirring in the Sleeping Lotus. But the journey is more than a quest - it is a test of hearts. Rivalries burn into love, friendships splinter beneath secrets, and soulmarks shimmer where they should not.

For when the Lotus Serpent rises, it will not only bind three lives in a love they never expected - it will demand a choice that could shatter them all.

If their steps falter, kingdoms will drown without even knowing they are asleep.
If their hearts align, dawn may come again.

But prophecy is cruel, and dreams cut as deeply as any blade.
