Ever dream to create an escape from those pesky school bullies? Ever think about painting your way to to a new realm of possibilities filled with dragons and art and magic? Leonardo Da Vinci did! It's time for an adventure.. as long as you can get back to mom in time for lunch!

"Happiness has been lacking in Lucas and Lucy's life. Obsessed with art, Lucas is excited to go on a school art trip to the local museum with mom. The children discover a magical painting created by Leonardo Da Vinci that sends the children to another realm when Lucy accidentally falls into and activates it after hiding from school bullies in the museum. Lucas runs after her and the two children soon wake up stranded in an unknown forest where they meet a small green owl, named Wholio, in the forest who they befriend. The children travel with Wholio to the nearby town to find answers and food but the children soon realize things are very strange and that they are no longer on Earth. In town, they encounter beings called Conjures who are literal beings of living art. At the local bar they meet Salai, Leonardo Da Vinci's old assistant and after an incident he takes them to meet an old human sorcerer called the Guardian who might be able to help them get back home. The children soon discover however that the Guardian actually needs their help to fight and win a war that's coming to restore happiness and control from an evil Queen Tyrant and her evil conjured army. The Guardian offers to train the children as human conjuring sorcerers to help him fight her. Once the war is won he promises to help they get home again but if they lose, the realm may cease to exist."
