Maquia: When The Promised Flower Blooms

Description

“A stirring, sentimental, stunning-taking a look fantasy epic”, Variety
The people of Iorph live far away from the lands of men, weaving the happenings of every day into a fabric referred to as Hibiol. They live for centuries even as maintaining their youthful appearance. Maquia, an orphaned Iorph girl, lives in an oasis surrounded by friends, yet one way or the other feels alone. But the tranquil lives of the Iorph are shattered straight away when the Mezarte army invades their territory on a dragon fleet, seeking the blood that grants the Iorph long life. Maquia manages to escape, but loses her friends and her home in the chaos. She then encounters an orphaned baby who could also be alone. Maquia raises this boy, Ariel, with the assistance of some new friends. But as the era changes, the bond between Maquia and Ariel changes too, amidst a backdrop of racial tensions between the Iorph and the Mezarte. This can be a story of irreplaceable time, woven by two lonely people who can only find solace in every other.
