Welcome to the world in a bubble, or at least through it. Ami and Lys are held in a world where Elementals, nymphs, demons, ghouls, humans and other assortment of species roam the plains of existence freely. Of course with such fantastical creatures danger can lurk around any plot arch or situation that these two kittens find themselves captured within.
Thankfully there are entities to watch over these ladies along with many friends and companions to show them the way along a mind maze of trouble. It happens with those who are so curious it seems.
However the biggest question remains. How in this world can they get back home?

Plot
Prologue: “Beginning”
A brief history regarding how Dona was created from Life, and more on what has happened since that time.
Chapter One: "Falling"
The plot starts out in Ami's bedroom where she is startled out of a dream, realizing the time she promptly turns over and falls back to sleep. This leads to Lys waking up late and realizing it. Lys stumbles in late for school but thankfully the teacher lets her slip by with a warning. There you meet Ami who is Lys's bestest best (friend of course). As the class finishes, Ami is trampled while trying to get up from her seat and hits her head on the desk, only to glance up and notice a huge floating bubble in the middle of the class. Both girls are in awe of this situation and approach what appears to be a portal upon closer inspection. A fascinated Lys jokingly pushes Ami near the floating mass only to have both of them sucked through it.
Both girls are falling at this point through the aqua skies of an alien existence. They realize that they are heading for the endless storm gray sea below them. Crashing into the waves below they surface safely and manage to make it to the shore exhausted. Ami helps Lys out of the water, glancing over her shoulder for a moment to realize that a tsunami overshadows them. Ami is pulled downward through the clear depths to another bubble deep in the ocean with Lys no where in sight.
Ami is face to face with a magnificent creature that appears to be part of the very ocean she lurks under. Upon further questioning the female is portrayed as Marissa --Water Elemental-- over all seven oceans who is interested in Ami and why she has appeared in this Region. Not knowing where she is Ami retorts back wishing she knew how she was dragged into this, which Marissa does not take to kindly to, reminding Ami that if she so chooses, Marissa could bring the whole air bubble down. Ami's helpless frustration shows, and the Elemental takes pity on her. She then summons Misu, one of Marissa's Chosen and Guardian of the Seas to watch over Ami and her travels, secretly hoping to find out why the anomaly (Ami) is there in the first place.
Misu makes a comment about Ami's alignment, noting her cat like ears and tail. Ami has not realized that she is a Mau (slang for Catgirl) and so upon Misu touching her ear goes into a semi state of shock. Marissa sends her back up to the surface with one comment to Misu about leaving her 'mark'.
Chapter Two: "Capture"
A groggy Ami wakes up on the same beach that Ami and Lys had landed on before Ami had met the Water Elemental. She finds Lys laying beside her unconscious. Her hand brushes across new appendages, first discovering her ears and then promptly the tail now swinging under her kilt. She freaks, pointing to Lys to alert her friend of the change in both of them. Screaming together the girls frantically try to work out what is happening to both of them. Rustling bushes break as five knights surround the two, snatching them up despite the girl best attempt at resistance.
Several hours later, deep in the forest that lines the peach the males carry both Ami and Lys, stopping in the midst of a clearing where Dannon lands in front of them, challenging the five of them while dark ink like creatures swoop down behind the group holding the two hostage. Lys is mute at this point as the leader of the group calls a halt to Dannon's game. Requesting information from Dannon to the lead knight tells him that they would give Dannon both Lys and Ami for the intelligence they require. Dannon agrees and demands that the two Mau be thrown up against a nearby tree. As the Leader and Dannon speak to each other, Ami and Lys becain to talk to one another before Lys tells Ami to be quiet. Asking why, Ami realizes she is slowly consumed by the inky beings that Lys is aware of, both girls are then pulled into the darkness.
Lys opens her eyes to a blurry image before snapping awake, finding herself in a hospital room and questioning what she is doing there.

History
Can be found in the Prologue.
I ERA
In the beginning, there were four elemental powers that exist apart from one another in their purest anatomy. Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth. Each one tried to exist independently of the other three but found itself hallow and pale, lonely in the pursuit of something more then a simple existence. Every attempt at creation one Element had would always need a property of one to all three of the other three Elements to function. This need to create drove them to find a solution; to combine forces hopefully for a greater purpose.
When combined, the Elements created Life. An all-encompassing experience that surrounded them in a dominion called Dona. This plain of existence was the combination of the greatest concepts and properties of the Elements.
II ERA
With this dominion, there were four Elementals conceived in the image of the Elements themselves that were created in the Life, the pure manifestations of the four elements. These four Goddesses were to watch over the land and keep it from strife and war, to preserve Life. However, with the birth of Dona, these four also formed an actual conscious that was deeper then their simpler need to create found within the Elements. There was a change within them. With the existence of Life (the experience of the realm of Dona) there was now a counter balance to Life just like each Element had its own opposing Sister. This anti Life is known as Death.
Death manifested itself into everything, just like Life. The state of Death is when the four Elements are separated in their pure form. And so while Life works its way through the beings of Dona to hold this new existence together, Death, trying to split up the elements once more so they return to their purist form. Death has begun to divide the Elementals’ one goal (which of course is to maintain Life.) Slowly these Guardians have forgotten about what brought them together in the first place. And so, Dona has begun to crack from the inside out.
Water has forgotten her purpose and simply wishes to bask in the people that worship her the most. Earth wishes to protect only those that are aligned with Earth itself. Fire believes it is superior so she simply wishes to split the world; she is the one who is affected the most. And Wind, wind is flighty and unsure of what to do even though she believes in Life. Change in the Elementals from when Life first brought them into creation is great, they have divided the nation that had originally formed when Dona was first conceived into four Kingdoms, one is deep below Zenith Heights which is the layer of Earth. The castle between Two Moons in the sky hold Wind, the Sun is the region of Fire. Finally, the One Sea Split is that which holds Water.
