Plot
So, there was this beautiful paradise named 'Flora Utopia'. There was lush, green grass, no pollution, animals that didn't hunt and instead were vegetarian, and home to every flower ever and even some new ones. It was the home of the fairies that also had human forms. Then, the Discouraged Hearts attacked the Kingdom. The Discouraged Hearts was made up of the Shitsui Soldiers, Dark Artists, and corrupted pixies. The Lovely Meadows, which was Flora Utopia's war team, fought the Discouraged Hearts, but were defeated.

Despair King himself then showed up. Flora Utopia was a wasteland, most of the flowers and grass was pulled out, most homes were destroyed and animals went into hiding. The King challenged Queen Hana, and unfairly used his monsters and corrupted her soldiers to defeat her, and drained her magic. However, Queen Hana used the last of her magic to form the 'Blossom Pacts' (Flower Pacts in the English Dub).

Unfortunately, because of this, she fell into a deep sleep and would only be awoken when she got the amount of magic she gave to the Blossom Pacts back.
