~ STORY ~

In a distant place, there’s a world with a dream-like sky that stretches endlessly. Beneath that limitless sky live two types of witches—the butterflies and the moths. Lives dictated by hierarchy, the forgotten moths live within the shadow of the dazzling butterflies.In the city center live the wealthiest of butterfly families. Livelihoods filled with luxury, they know not of pain nor hardship. Blind to the struggles of the moths living amongst them, they spend their days concerning themselves with trivial matters.Raised to follow the strict rules of nobility, the sole daughter of a high ranking butterfly family tires of the life forced onto her. One sunny day, she sneaks away from home. Heart untouched by the cruel judgment of the society surrounding her, her small footsteps travel through the bustling city. She weaves over and under whatever obstacles come in her path, leaving behind all the suffocating dullness from her daily life.Exploring near the edge of the city, the little butterfly spots a flash of pink out of the corner of her eye. Turning to find the source of the color, her eyes are drawn to a creature glittering in the air. Seemingly sensing her gaze, it flaps its delicate wings and flies into the forest. The butterfly gives chase.As she runs through the forest, gentle crying reaches the butterfly’s ears. Growing louder and louder the longer she follows the creature, she begins to search for the source of the sound, wondering who would be crying in the middle of the forest.Prying through the brush, the butterfly’s gaze lands upon a trembling moth.Vision blurred by endless tears, the moth gives no resistance to the arms that wrap tightly around her. The little moth girl sinks feebly into the embrace, not knowing who was comforting her—or why. She sobs weakly, unfamiliar to the comfort of someone other than herself. All she knew was to hide herself away from the world.Though their time together would extend far beyond this meeting, the butterfly would never forget the thought that enveloped her mind in that moment:“This girl must be the most beautiful being in the universe.”

The two girls become inseparable after that meeting.Sneaking away from home increasingly often, the little Butterfly spends more and more time far from the city center that she was raised in. The two fill their days with mirth, playing amongst the trees and growing closer by the minute.Despite their joyful days and her companion's lack of concern, anxiety begins to bubble in the Moth's heart. Far more aware of the difference in their status than her companion, the judgmental whispers that emerge when seen together cause her nervousness to rise. Pushing down the uneasiness in her heart, she tries to focus on the precious moments before her.Time passes, the two grow closer, and they reach schooling age.With her intelligence and great magic potential, the Moth is granted acceptance into the city's most prestigious academy. She feels herself growing nervous about navigating a completely unfamiliar school surrounded by unfamiliar nobility. Those stares and whispers still haunted her. Yet the presence of the Butterfly eases her worries little by little. No matter what, they had each other.
