This story is of a group of friends who spend the night near a temple in the forest. During the night, they each learn a part of a charm to bring things back to life. Armed with this knowledge, they set out on an adventure only to come to a city with no people or animals. This is all the doing of some Rakshasis, a form of evil spirit. Can the three friends defeat the Rakshasis and bring the princess's family back to life?
