In a world ravaged by humanity's greed, where nature has been forsaken, only witches retain the ability to communicate with the remnants of the natural world. Once, plants and animals thrived in harmony, but as humankind rose to power, they destroyed and exploited the environment, leading to a barren landscape. Witches, blamed for the extinction of flora, now hide in secret lairs filled with greenery, feared by those who do not understand their powers.
