Plot

In the magical kingdom of Lumbria, Princess Ellian has to deal with the fact that her parents, King Solon and Queen Ellsmere, had been transformed into feral monsters a year ago, following a journey in the Dark Forest of Eternal Darkness. Royal advisors, Ministers Bolinar and Nazara Prone, help her supervise and hide the monsters from the public, but without any success of transforming them back, they think Ellian should become the new Queen since she will come of age on her 15th birthday. As a last attempt to bring her parents back, Ellian arranges a meeting with two deities, Sunny and Luno, the Oracles of the Sun and Moon respectively. However, upon their visit, the monster King and Queen scare them off, leaving behind only a magical device called "The Fob" that combines their powers.
