How it feels

On a peaceful planet in the Andromeda galaxy, Prince Itaka and Princess Lilia are about to marry and rule. They discover a mysterious object in the sky that turns out to be an alien mechanical civilization that invades and enslaves most of the population. The queen gives birth to twins who are separated at birth, and the story follows them as they grow up and discover their powers are the key to fighting the invaders.
