Prologue

Mythology

Long ago, the world was united as one. Then, four goddesses were born and a war began over who could best rule the world. Eventually, under these goddesses, the world split into four different lands, each worshiping one of the goddesses...

Story

Four goddesses preside over a parallel world called Gamindustri. Aside from the warring goddesses of Celestia, the human world below brims with monsters released by the evil powers of Arfoire. One girl, Neptune, falls to the human world during a scuffle between the goddesses. Once there, Neptune hears a cry from the tome Histoire, who has been sealed and kept away from the goddesses by Arfoire.
