Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms

In the mystical land of Iolph, where inhabitants stop aging in their mid-teens and live for centuries, Maquia feels isolated despite the serene surroundings. The arrival of the Mesarte army shatters the tranquility, as they seek the blood of Iolph's residents to sustain their own immortality. Maquia survives the chaos and destruction, but without a home or community, she embarks on a journey through a dark forest as a wanderer. Her path crosses with Erial, a mortal infant who has lost his parents, and Maquia becomes his guardian. As Erial grows up, their bond deepens, creating a poignant narrative of their unique and enduring relationship.
