Little Iris is bleeding amid a field of vibrant flowers, her cries for her mother lost in the shadows. A weird pendant around her neck starts to sparkle as her life fades away, and the flowers emit a heady scent. The spectral image of her mother, a woman with heart-shaped eyes and ethereal beauty, appears from the perfume. She tells Iris the terrible truth: Iris is now the only chance in a fight against twenty ancient evils. Armed with a pendant that contains the secret of her parents' abilities and a heart hardened by loss, Iris must rise from the ashes of despair after her parents' deaths and the destruction of her planet. Iris sets out on a treacherous quest to find the horrors that murdered her family because she is driven by a desire for revenge and a thirst for the truth. However, she is forced to face her inner darkness as she learns the truth about the witch's knot pendant and the fate associated with its missing jewels. Will she give in to the anger that drives her, or will she have the fortitude to respect her parents' sacrifice and go in a different direction?

Chapter 1 - The Field of Crimson Tears

"Mom!! Where are you?!" 

"Mom!! I am scared; everything is dark!!"

"It hurts!! Mom!! Please answer me!!!"

A young girl lying down in a breathtaking view. Red, light purple, pink, and white flowers are all over.

The beautiful flowers where the young girl lies are being covered by the deep crimson blood coming out of her stomach.

The young girl was crying from the pain. Her fragile body is trying to contain the blood spill, but her hands only become crimson red.

"Why won't I stop!! Mom!! Please, I don't want to die!!" The young girl cried, but she only heard the echoes of her words.

Her consciousness drifted in and out. The hot, sharp pain continues to torment the young girl.

She takes one of the flowers drenched in her blood. "Don't be a sad flower; we are both together. It is so sad that you are being killed; you are so beautiful."

The young girl can't lie to herself; she wants to act strong, but she wants to live. She is scared of everything; she feels colder and colder the more she loses blood. Her throat dries; the adrenaline she had has diminished to the point where death is almost certain.

"M-mom, p-please—I—I—I don't want to die!! Help me, please, please."

The young girl has no more energy left than what she can give. At this she wants to stop suffering; she wants to just rest peacefully and put an end to all of the suffering.

She grabs her necklace, a beautiful three-pendant necklace. A flower, heart, and witch's knot.

The moment she touched the flower pendant, it began disappearing. 

She jolted awake; she didn't remember where she got the necklace, but she felt a personal connection to that pendant as if it were part of her entire life.

The flowers began releasing stronger smells. The aromas began creating a silhouette.

A clear image formed; in the image, a beautiful woman wearing a beautiful white dress, her red and pink hair, appeared to be made by the gods. Her pupils, a pink heart shape. 

"Mom" The young girl has no strength to try and scream; all she can do is give a small whisper.

"I am so sorry for everything." 

The young girl begins feeling the heat returning back to her body as it begins healing, her blood returning to her. 

"Mom! Where are you!" The young girl is slowly regaining her strength.

"I am sorry I was a bad mother. There are many things that I wanted to live with you." The mother began shedding tears.

The young girl can't see her mother cry; she also begins crying; she is now more scared of everything.

"I wanted to be there for you at everyone's birthdays. I wanted you to see how much we love you. I wanted to see you grow up and become a beautiful young woman. I am sorry for everything that is happening to you. I don't expect you to understand since you are so young, but when you can understand, I beg you to forgive me."

"I do forgive you!! But please tell me where you are?! Where is Dad!?" The young girl's wounds finally healed.

"I tried to prevent this from happening. Believe me, your father and I tried with everything we had, but it all, unfortunately, fell upon you. There is no amount of regret that I can do to change the fact that I have ruined your life! Your mother ruined your life!!! How! How! Why is everything like this?"

The young girl is stunned; she can't think of anything. She wants to cry, but something is coming out; her eyes are completely dried out.

The mother calmed down, her eyes puffy and red.

"I am sorry I am so immature. Your father always got mad when I acted like a baby instead of a woman. But the thing I have to tell you is that you are now alone. Your father and I are no longer here."

The woman shakes her head which causes a yellow flower to fall.

Images begin flashing inside the little girl's mind. Images of how everything culminated into her being in her current situation.

The images of how her parents hid her away with a glowing yellow flower and her mother putting the necklace on the terrified girl, then they both began fighting against mysterious black figures. 

The next image is of her being stabbed with a long black sword as the flower begins exploding.

Her mind begins to be overrun with hatred; she wants to make the people who killed her parents pay. All she wants is to destroy and eat their bodies in front of their families to make them feel the pain she suffered. 

"I love you. I want you to live your path away from any danger, but I can't do that. That is why I left my destiny to you. The destiny of riding the world of evils."

The young girl's mind came back to reality after she heard those words.

"In the heart pendant is all our strength. You will once obtain both your father's and my powers to try and get rid of evil. You will have to grow stronger and even surpass both of us. The witch's knot is missing twenty gems."

The young girl looked at her pendant and saw twenty missing gems and one dark central stone.

"You will have to kill every one of the twenty evils for you to understand the truth behind everything."

Twenty? The young girl felt a deeper abyss inside her heart.

"That is all I can say. All I want to say is that I will always love you. No matter how lonely you 

feel, I will always be there for you."

The young girl began sobbing; her little heart was suffering unimaginable pains.

In the next frame, her father appears. His body is covered in a deep white fog, but his face shows that of a person smiling as his eyes tell the story of his crying due to his extreme love for his family.

"Dad!!" 

"We love you, Iris." The last frame of the image showed the parents hugging as they waved goodbye to their little girl.

Iris' heart became a little more hardened. All she wants is revenge and to find the truth behind everything.
