Atenea, a curious and adventurous girl, decides to explore the island of Trospilandia without a set path.

Ignoring the warning, Atenea crosses the threshold and disappears inside. Meanwhile, her friends, worried by her long absence, begin an endless search, fearing they might never see her again, though they know her fighting spirit well.
