This is a two-episode preview masquerading as a complete story, it shows you the world, introduces the stakes, then stops. The real game is waiting. If you come in expecting resolution, you'll resent it; if you come in understanding this is a recruitment tool for a 50-hour JRPG, you'll see exactly what it's trying to do: prove the world is worth your time. The OVA works because it trusts you to care about Liberl's survival enough to want the full story.

A decade has passed since the Erebonian Empire's invasion nearly toppled the Kingdom of Liberl, reaching the capital before a counteroffensive led by Cassius Bright drove it back. Now the small nation rebuilds with imperial forces waiting beyond its northern border, relying on the Bracer Guild, whose members wield mystical arts called Craft to protect the land. For Cassius's daughter Estelle and her adopted brother Joshua, that war is just history learned in childhood. As the two prepare to join the guild themselves, their father's airship suddenly vanishes, and the young pair set out on a rescue mission of their own. Sinister forces are at work, and the siblings soon find themselves opposing the shadowy organization Ouroboros in a fantasy adventure where history threatens to repeat itself.
