Storyline

In ancient Greece, in the land of Helenia, a young woman who lived in the mountains closest to Olympus was in charge of looking after a mysterious vase inside the temple. One day the vase was making strange sounds and when Pandora went to check on it, the vase burst open and released all the evils that lay within, and along with them, a cherub named Lucy appeared to inform Pandora that this event would cause untold disasters on earth and that it was necessary to recapture them. Pandora, with great courage and the power of hope that still resides in the vase, decides to travel through Helenia in search of the evils; luckily they are not too far away and the disasters they bring behind them are clearly visible.
