The narrative unfolds in a world parallel to our own. We are introduced to Pastel, an 18-year-old orphan residing with a band of adventurers in a modest home. Pastel earns her living as a writer and a "mapper," documenting towns, rural landscapes, rivers, and mountains through sketches and illustrations. Her friends hold her in high regard due to her exceptional intelligence and honesty. Sharing the house with Pastel are Clay, a young swordsman; Trapp, the son of a bandit leader; Kitton, a living dictionary and descendant of the Kitton family; Knoll, a large man with a gentle heart; Whitey, a baby dragon; and Rumy, an infant sorcerer of the "Elf" tribe. This eclectic group embarks on numerous mysterious adventures, ranging from treasure hunting and searching for missing persons to solving riddles and undertaking many other unexpected quests.
