A force known as astral power spreads throughout the world, wielded by astral magicians. Fearing their destructive power, the “Empire” persecutes those who display their abilities. The tormented wizards then found the Nebulis Sovereignty to flee their oppressors. Since then, the two nations have been in bitter conflict, the war still continuing for over a century. After committing the great crime of freeing an imprisoned witch, the talented knight Iska is sentenced to prison.
A year later, the leaders of the Empire suddenly decide to release him, on the condition that he hunts down a fearsome magician known as the “Ice Calamity Witch.” Hoping to end the war, Iska agrees. Coincidentally, the Ice Calamity Witch herself, Aliceliese “Alice” Lou Nebulis XI, also desires peace and is willing to do whatever she can to bring down the Empire. As Iska and Alice long for a crusade that will turn the world into one without strife, misfortune, or pain, the threads of fate draw them closer together, creating a bond that goes beyond something made by mere coincidence.
