Tragedy strikes when Flayme is discovered brutally murdered, his once majestic form reduced to charred remains beside the town's water well, with only a solitary feather left intact. Determined to seek justice for her faithful companion, Elena embarks on a quest to unveil the perpetrator behind this heinous act.

This is only because of the existence of one woman and her feathered companion.
