Yaya, Aiyana, and Koko were childhood friends. Born in the same village, they spent their days in peace, and they vowed to always stay together.

This all changed on one fateful night, however, when an army of strange monsters attacked their village. Families were scattered and, in the chaos, Yaya and Aiyana were parted from Koko.

Three years later, on Yaya’s twenty-first birthday, she and Aiyana vow to find the missing Koko. They leave their village and wander the dense forest that surrounds it, searching for a sign of their friend’s whereabouts.

After several months, their travels lead them to a mysterious witch, Maia, who claims to be all-powerful.

Maia says she can help Yaya and Aiyana, but her help comes at a cost. Before Maia will consider lifting a finger for their sakes, she has Yaya and Aiyana prove their loyalty to her through a series of menial chores and embarrassing tasks.

Yaya is prepared to endure any indignity to find Koko (even being used as a human chair) – but can she really trust Maia?

Yaya is uncertain…

But, as time wears on, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Maia.

Now, why could that be?
