Hi there, my name is Enichan. I am a 14-year-old Indian teen. By the way, I live in Tokyo. My mum is a doctor, and my dad is a lecturer in biotechnology and microbiology. I study at Sakura Blossom Middle School. My besties? Well, that’s a long list (he, he). My parents don’t really pay attention to me… their work is more important than I am. They don’t even notice when I come and go.
One evening after school, listening to some lo-fi songs, I was walking down the street toward home. I never thought my life would change in an instant. One moment, I was just an ordinary girl, lost in my own thoughts, and the next, I was chosen for something beyond my wildest imagination.
The wind rustled through the trees as I walked home from school, my mind heavy with the usual worries—homework, friendships, the never-ending question of what my future would look like. I never expected the answer to come crashing down on me that very evening.
It started with a strange glow. A soft, green light surrounded me, swirling like tiny fireflies in the air. My heart pounded as I tried to step back, but my feet felt glued to the ground. Then, a voice—calm yet powerful—echoed through my mind.
"You have been chosen."
Chosen? For what? My breath caught in my throat as the world around me seemed to fade. When the light finally dimmed, I found myself standing in a completely different place—a forest unlike any I had ever seen. The trees shimmered with an ethereal glow, and the air hummed with energy.
That's when I saw them. Four figures stood before me—three boys and a girl, all looking just as bewildered as I felt. It didn't take long to realize that they were just like me—chosen for something bigger than ourselves.

And then, from a distance, I heard my alarm ringing. I woke up—it was a dream. "Why am I dreaming something so stupid?" I thought. Then I realized I was running late for school! I rushed, grabbed my cycle, and pedaled as fast as I could.
When I was locking my cycle at school, I noticed something strange on my left hand. A mark—almost like a tattoo. It was a leaf. My heart skipped a beat. And then I heard something. A voice. I turned around—
It was a flying cat.
"Hi, Enichan! I am your guardian, Cookie..." I froze in shock. Did that cat just talk? My brain struggled to process what I was seeing.
"Who… who are you?" I stammered.
"I am your guardian, Cookie," it repeated with a cheerful grin.
"What do you mean? Hmmm… Cookie?" I asked, still in disbelief.
"You have been chosen as the warrior of nature… and you will meet your team. Seren can control time, perfect for a wise and calm character. Riven is cool and can control water. Kotaru, edgy and mysterious, can read people’s minds and stop their thoughts. Ezren has a unique, magical presence—literally a wizard. And finally, you, Enichan. Because you are the leader, you have three powers: wherever you step, a rare black flower blooms, amplifying your abilities; you can disappear into mist and reappear elsewhere, like teleportation; and when you close your eyes, you can see hidden truths, like past events or secret paths. Additionally, all of you can hear the voices of ancient trees and receive cryptic warnings. Just like you have me, your team will have different holy spirits with them. We only appear when you call us or when you are in danger, and only you guys can see us. Also, if the leaf mark on your hand glows and vibrates, it means you have received a mission."
Before I could say anything, Cookie vanished.
Seren is a silent one. Kotaru and Riven are my seniors, and Ezren is my classmate. Hmmmm… sounds interesting.
