But when a magic spell cast by the elf' elder CELCIA, designed to send the strangers back to their own world, splits into five distinct fragments (that now appear as tattoos on the bodies of five young female elves), the stage is set for an epic quest by the trio known as "Those Who Hunt Elves". Their mission - to track down and examine every female elf they can lay their hands on until they find the missing pieces of their ticket back home.
