When his teacher is petrified while protecting him, a young apprentice dedicates his time to waiting and caring for her statue every day.

Lara Bradley, a renowned mage, sets off to defeat a low-risk monster with her young apprentice Alistair, who never stops proposing to her. But instead of a minor threat, they encounter the world's most dangerous creature—a dragon! In a desperate bid to save Alistair, Lara faces the dragon alone and casts a spell that turns her to stone.

Twenty years later, the petrification spell breaks, and Lara awakens in a world that has moved on—except for Alistair, who never forgot her. The boy she once knew has grown into a powerful, determined man who's eager to make up for lost time with his beloved master.
