    On the serene planet of Pejite, King Anukon and Queen Alienna ruled with wisdom and kindness. Their world was a blend of archaic traditions and cutting-edge technology, a harmonious balance of the old and the new.

    Amongst their subjects was Doctor Ovl Kintobor, the brilliant yet ambitious war minister and scientist. He was renowned for discovering a powerful energy source, an achievement that attracted an unknown enemy force.

    The enemy attacked Pejite, but with Kintobor's genius, they repelled the invaders. Despite the victory, Kintobor's hunger for power led him to betray his king, seizing control of the throne.

    Kintobor imprisoned King Anukon alongside the invaders' leader, Lord Ixis. The once peaceful planet was now under his ruthless control.

    Queen Alienna, in a desperate bid to save her child, sent her daughter Tiara to Earth with the last remaining crystal of power. The queen hoped that one day Tiara would fulfill her destiny.

    Tiara crash-landed on Earth and was found by a loving couple who adopted her. She grew up oblivious to her origins, leading an ordinary life on this new planet.

    As Tiara matured, her latent powers began to emerge. Unaware of her own abilities, she was surprised by the strange occurrences that followed her, like objects moving on their own.
