Journey

This is the story of two ordinary people, who are in a whole new chapter of their lives. One of them being Chuck, an shy and timid man. The other being Ash, an confident and fun-loving woman. The two meet unexpectedly by coming across each other's paths, running from the same thing: An evil supervillain couple (named Prince Bolt and Princess Ember), who aim to conquer as many lands as they can. Not only do Chuck and Ash embark on a fantasy adventure, but they find themselves slowly falling in love.
