Story
Visions――

The hopes and dreams of

legendary warriors given life.


Lapis――

A world of crystals and the visions

that slumber within.


Harnessing the power of the crystals,

mankind prospered, nations flourished.

But just as day gives way to night,

that era of peace proved but a fleeting illusion.

 

Now, as their world stands on the precipice

of ruin, two young knights summon visions

to their side as they strike out on a journey

to chase the shadows.

 

So begins a new tale of crystals,

and the heroes who would save them...
