[size=1][font=Tahoma][i]"...You'll have to put what's most important to you on the line..."

[size=2][font=Papyrus][i]Who are those little girls in pain,
Just trapped in castle on dark side of moon?
Twelve of them shining bright in vain,
Like flowers that blossom just once in years.
They're dancing in the shadows like whispers of love,
Just dreaming of place where they're free as dove.
They've never been allowed to love in this cursed cage.
It's only the fairy tale they believe...
~Yuki Kajiura

Long ago, in a land called Fuuka, twelve maidens were called to battle. Strange creatures not found on this world had terrorized the land for some time, striking fear in the hearts of men. But these maidens were unafraid for their own lives as they fought for those they loved. It was said that these maidens could see the red star, Ikusahime, and were given its mark allowing them to harness unimaginable powers in the form of weapons and beasts. Though their lives were brief, they were able to beat back these creatures, sending returning to whence they came.

Now, hundreds of years later, the Ikusahime star burns brightly in the sky once again. Twelve new maidens, twelve new HiMEs, must take up the mantle and fight against the darkness once more. But is that all there really is to the tale?

With this fable in motion, the twisted future that the star casts upon us all now set, it's only appropriate to call such a bizarre and ludicrous series of events a "Carnival." As the HiME begin to gather, unintentionally, in the land of Fuuka once again, they will be driven by fate to protect our sheer existance. Whether conscious or oblivious of their abilities as a princess of Ikusahime, only time can tell what destiny awaits them.

By one method or another, you, a HiME, have ended up at Fuuka Gakuen, a rather prestigious acadamy in Japan. As a student, new or old, or a member of the faculty, you have reason enough to be joining the fine staff of the school. What the curriculum holds for you this year is unknown, but what can be said for sure is that a sinister phenomenon is about to befall the land of Fuuka yet again. What dangers can be expected? What fate has Earth been bound to? And how can the actions of twelve young girls effect all of this...?
