Description

In a quiet meadow beside a crystal lake lives a humble fisherman, his wife, and their foster‑child. Their simple life contrasts with the dark wood that looms nearby, a place whispered about for goblins and restless spirits. One evening, while mending nets, the fisherman senses an uncanny presence—a tall, solemn rider emerging from the shadows, a figure that seems both dream and omen.

From the lake’s gentle depths rises Undine, a water maiden of dazzling beauty whose blue eyes hold no trace of mortal love, joy, or sorrow. She has stepped onto land seeking the one thing that can warm her cold, unfeeling nature: a human soul. As she encounters the wandering knight, their fates begin to intertwine, promising a tale where love, duty, and the longing for a soul shape the course of both water and land.
