Character story : Always dreamed of becoming a knight, just like his perfect brother Moon, Kei's greatest dream is to see the world beyond the kingdom’s walls, to search for the legendary Witch’s Wand, and to prove to everyone- especially to himself- that he’s worthy.

And once the truth starts to unfold, there’s no turning back.
