Premise

The human and magic worlds co-existed in harmony, but as technology advanced, the magic world was pushed back, and fairies and other magical creatures became endangered species. Now, someone wants to change that and restore magic to its rightful place. When Kyra uncovers a threat to both the human and magic worlds, she must try to unite humans, elves, and fairies in order to save them all. Kyra and Peter must solve the mystery of who the enigmatic figure is and how they will achieve their goal. The investigation leads them to uncover secrets in both the human and magic worlds that no one could have imagined.

  • Elizabeth Cullen as Imogen, an elf training to become a member of the DMI. While serious about her training, she does not believe in teamwork and is very wary of Kyra, though is starting to soften to her.
  • Mia Milnes as Lily, a fairy training to become a member of the DMI. She is a friendly and bubbly person, who quickly warms up to Kyra.
  • Julian Cullen as Darra, an elf training to become a member of the DMI and Imogen's brother. Unlike his sister, he is more friendly to others and not as enthusiastic in his studies.
  • Rainbow Wedell as Ruksy, a fairy training to become a member of the DMI. While friendly like Lily, she is much more serious.
