Your goal is to traverse the The Dark Forest and defeat a Guardian at either the Ice Gate or the Fire Gate to get to either the FROST Forest or the FLAME Forest.
Along the way you will fight enemies that will increase your Sparkle, Shimmer, or Aura essence. Essences help you get into Stances, which each have their own powerful effects.
You will come across Magic Fountains and Quests that will aid you in your journey. Along the way, you must prove your worth and unlock the Gates by fighting at least two Arenas with powerful enemies.
