Premise

The story centers around the species called "Mulawin" who once helped the humans save mother nature, then withdrew themselves and hid in the mountains due to humanity's greed. In the meantime, a rebel band of Mulawins called "Ravena" sought revenge against the humans. The peace between the humans and Mulawins depends on Aguiluz, the protector and Alwina, the envoy.[2]
