Storyline

Three brothers set out on a quest to find a never-before -heard legendary bird, the Adarna, that could heal their ailing father... or so they were told. It is said to live in the most dangerous place in the kingdom, Mt.Tabor; so they must first seek a guide who could hopefully make this journey much less treacherous. For this, they find Addie, a girl who claims to be a capable(?) guide for the group. Together, they set off on their quest to obtain the Adarna bird. Addie: "Actually, you never did tell me what you needed-" Diego: "You mean to say that you have been traveling with us without knowing...?" Addie: "Yeah, seems that way, hehe..." ... They'll be fine, right...?
