Premise
editThe human and magic worlds co-existed in harmony, but as technology advanced, the magic world was pushed back, and fairies and other magical creatures became endangered species. Now, someone wants to change that and restore magic to its rightful place. When Kyra uncovers a threat to both the human and magic worlds, she must try to unite humans, elves, and fairies in order to save them all. The Bureau must solve the mystery of who the enigmatic figure is and how they will achieve their goal. The investigation leads them to uncover secrets in both the human and magic worlds that no one could have imagined.[1]
Cast and characters
editMain
edit- Kimie Tsukakoshi as Kyra Glen, a teenage girl whose life is changed after an encounter with a magic book is thought to have transformed her into a "triling": part human, part fairy and part elf. While wary of her new circumstances, she is learning to accept her new reality.
- Elizabeth Cullen as Imogen Blackwell, an elf training to become a member of the Department of Magical Intervention (DMI). Although serious about her training, she does not believe in teamwork. At first quite wary of Kyra, she begins to soften to her.
- Mia Milnes as Lily Regan, a fairy training to become a member of the DMI. She is friendly, with a bubbly personality, and quickly warms to Kyra.
- Julian Cullen as Darra Blackwell, Imogen's brother, an elf training to become a member of the DMI. Compared to his sister, he is more friendly and less serious about his studies.
- Rainbow Wedell as Ruksy Tavola, a fairy training to become a member of the DMI. Like Lily, she is friendly, but she is also much more serious.
- Jamie Carter as Peter, Kyra's friend. He loves comics and is very suspicious of the magical phenomena that occur around him.
- Christopher Sommers as Professor Maxwell, a bookstore owner and teacher of magic for the DMI. He is a halfling: half human and half elf. He cares greatly for his students and wants them to reach their full magical potential.
Recurring
edit- Arnijka Larcombe-Weate as Mathilda Brennan, Kyra's best friend and fellow basketball player who doesn't know of Kyra's magical powers.
- Steve Nation as Steve Glen, Kyra's stepfather and a local police officer who is also unaware of Kyra's powers.
- Melanie Zanetti as Orla (season 1), an elf who's one of the DMI's top agents and Imogen's idol who poses as a reporter. She is an old acquaintance of Maxwell's and apparently has her own agenda involving Kyra.
- Nicholas Bell as Sean Regan, Lily's father and the Director of Magic.
- Miah Madden as Tayla (season 2), a mysterious fairy who is a new student at River City High School and works at the Gangway café.
- Matthew Manahan as Ben (season 2), a musician whom Lily has a crush on.
- Tasneem Roc as Dr Apinya Surinat (season 2), an old associate of Professor Maxwell's who takes his place when he is forced to step aside. The trainees, especially Kyra, soon find reason to be suspicious of her.

Lily and Imogen decide to mention to Apinya about a 'Vision' of Kyra's telling her where the third key is, Apinya leaves immediately followed covertly by Imogen, who teleports to the warehouse in Singapore where Apinya tells the people there the location of the third key from Kyra's 'Vision' which she has deciphered, and Apinya and her accomplice immediately set off to the temples of Mount Fanjing in China where they believe the key is located.

They decide to tell Professor Maxwell about Apinya's deception and though initially not believing he eventually comes around. Kyra decides to give looking for the third key another chance and manages to find it ironically hidden in a painting called 'The Purple Lotus By Midnight' By Magnus Sorenson and is located inside Apinya's cult's base of operations. The Cult start to get the feeling they are on the wrong track with the information that Apinya gave to them about the third key's location so decide to kidnap Professor Maxwell and take the 2 keys that are in his possession. The Bureau decide to go to the cult base and take the painting containing the key and also rescue the 2 other keys and the professor. Initially, this goes well Kyra and Imogen find the painting and transport it to safety and start using merge magic to locate the key. The rest of the Bureau are caught by Apinya and other cult members. When Lily goes to her father to explain everything to him (which was the plan if anything went wrong) Apinya and the 2 keys are already there, Apinya then explains she is part of a super-secret DMI task force whose mission is to protect the world from the most serious threats. Wondering where Kyra is Apinya goes to where Imogen and Kyra have successfully attained the third key and before Apinya can stop Kyra from touching the key Kyra is teleported away to the temple of the purple lotus along with the other 2 keys which activate the cobra statue present there.

With the cobra activated it is slowly activating to its full power. In the interim fairy and elf magic starts to become unpredictable not working as expected or involuntary spell casting. Kyra has to clean up some of the magical issues as her magic seems unaffected. Professor Maxwell is reinstated at his school the class and Ladder are happy to have him return to his position as their teacher. While in the library Darra, Imogen and Lily notice their magic has started to cast spells randomly with no way for them to control it. Kyra's magic seems unaffected and she helps clean up some of the damage in the library Apinya comes up with the idea for Kyra to take back the orb magic taken from her by the cobra, but when trying to convince Kyra she reveals she also has information related to her father. Like the fact he was the one who tipped off the DMI to the location of the orb before the tri-ling council could acquire it, this makes Kyra even more adverse to help due to a lack of trust. Kyra reluctantly decides to help Apinya due to her friends having no faith in their magic as well as to keep the magical world a secret as the secret is starting to be revealed Guest stars: Miah Madden as Tayla, Tasneem Roc as Dr. Apinya Surinat, Steve Nation as Steve, Kenneth Moraleda as Mr. Mendoza, Kenji Shimada as Kazuhiro, Scott George as Anton Krasnarsky, Malachi Waters as elf guard, Nicholas Bell as Sean | ||||||||

As a result, the non-magical world is very much aware that magic now exists Desperate for knowledge on how the temple works they notice what seems to be a set of plans for the temple in a picture next to Magnus Sorenson in a Tri-ling Fundraising convention in Singapore 1919. Kyra, Peter, Imogen and Darra travel back to the time and place of the convention, posing as guests. When an attempt to acquire the information they require goes wrong Kyra is recognised from the time she stole Magnus's Journal and is brought before Magnus and the entire room of tri-lings.

Still stuck in the past Kyra manages to give Peter the time artifact so he can return to the future. Peter returns with Lilly and Rusky and they are able to return with the Bureau back to the present day with the plans to the temple. With all magical attempts to destroy the Purple Lotus being a failure but even with the temple plans the DMI is unable to get any information on how to destroy the Lotus. Kyra on reading the plans has an idea that only a Tri-ling can destroy the Lotus by placing themselves inside the Lotus itself. The Bureau uses the last of its magic to protect Kyra from the Cobra while she enacts her plan. The Lotus and cobra both get destroyed by Kyra who is completely unharmed by the plan and has her orb magic completely restored, with the destruction of the Lotus all magic is returned to the world.
