朝花夕誓——于离别之朝束起约定之花

经为流逝的日月。纬为人们的生业。

住在远离尘嚣的土地，一边将每天的事情编织成名为希比欧的布，一边静静生活的伊欧夫人民。在15岁左右外表就停止成长，拥有数百年寿命的他们，被称为“离别的一族”，并被视为活着的传说。没有双亲的伊欧夫少女玛奇亚，过着被伙伴包围的平稳日子，却总感觉“孤身一人”。他们的这种日常，一瞬间就崩溃消失。追求伊欧夫的长寿之血，梅萨蒂军乘坐着名为雷纳特的古代兽发动了进攻。在绝望与混乱之中，伊欧夫的第一美女蕾莉亚被梅萨蒂带走，而玛奇亚暗恋的少年克里姆也失踪了。玛奇亚虽然总算逃脱了，却失去了伙伴和归去之地……。

玛奇亚怀着空虚的心灵在黑暗的森林中徘徊。如同被召唤一般，她在那里遇到了刚刚失去双亲的“孤身一人”的婴儿。逐渐成长为少年的艾瑞尔。即使时间流逝也仍然保持少女样貌的玛奇亚。在同样的季节中，经过着不同的时间。在变化的时代当中，两人的牵绊逐渐变化着色调——。

两名孤身一人之人的相遇，编织出无可替代的时间的故事。

Maquia is a member of a special race called the Iorph—mystical beings who can live for hundreds of years and remain separate from the lives and daily troubles of mankind. However, Maquia has always felt lonely despite being surrounded by her people, as she was orphaned from a young age. She daydreams about the outside world, but dares not travel from her home due to the warnings of the clan's chief.

One day however, the outside world finds her, as the power-hungry kingdom of Mezarte invades her homeland. They already have what is left of the giant dragons, the Renato, under their control, and now their king wishes to add the immortality of the Iorph to his bloodline.

The humans and their Renato ravage the Iorph homeland and kill most of its inhabitants. Caught in the midst of the attack, Maquia is carried off by one of the Renato that has gone berserk. It soon dies, and she is left deserted in a forest far from home, now truly alone save for the cries of a single baby off in the distance. Maquia finds the baby in a destroyed village and decides to raise him as her own, naming him Ariel. Although she knows nothing of the human world, how to raise a child that ages much faster than her, or how to live with the smoldering loneliness inside, she is determined to make it all work somehow.
