During their journey, Allegretto and Polka run into each other and feel a strange connection between them. After one of their thefts almost goes wrong, they travel to Count Waltz to plead for lower taxes in town so that they can feed the other orphan children.

On a beautiful night near the cliffs of the town, Polka meets Frédéric Chopin who offers to help her on a journey to meet Count Waltz, the ruler of Forte, so she can plead to increase the price of the currently cheap mineral powder throughout the kingdom.Īt the same time two young orphan brothers, Allegretto and Beat, struggle to survive in town by stealing bread.

Even though her mother tries to support her as much as she can, being the only person who wants to be close to her, Polka leads a lonely and difficult life. Business is made even harder for her with the rise of "Mineral Powder", a much more effective and addictive miracle cure supplied by Forte Castle. Her condition also makes it hard to make a living selling floral powder, a healing agent, as she is avoided in town. Polka, a young girl that resides in Tenuto (a village within Forte territory), has a terminal illness a side effect of her ability to use magic, which keeps her from being around normal people as they fear becoming infected. The fictional world inside his dreams is a world at war between two kingdoms, Forte and Baroque.
