| Coco dreams of becoming a witch despite knowing only those born with magic talent can do so. One day, she learns that anyone can use magic with the right tools through secretly watching a witch named Qifrey perform magic. Coco practices magic by herself using a book and ink she bought from a mysterious masked witch, but she accidentally turns her mother into stone. Qifrey takes Coco in and becomes her mentor, bringing her to his atelier where she starts her magic training with his apprentices Agott, Tetia, and Richeh. Coco learns that magic was once common knowledge but after ages of wars and catastrophes had its use restricted to only a few witches, who keep the truth about its nature a secret from the rest of the world. After passing her first test and becoming Qifrey's official apprentice, Coco spots the masked witch and chases after them. Coco unwittingly traps herself and her fellow apprentices in a labyrinth, where they are chased by a dragon. | |||||

| By working together, the apprentices escape from the dragon. Qifrey rescues Coco from being captured by the masked witch, who is later revealed as Iguin, a member of the Brimmed Caps, a coven of rogue witches who use forbidden magic. Back in the atelier, Coco continues her training and meets Qifrey's supervisor and close friend Olruggio. Qifrey and Olruggio lead the apprentices in helping a group of minstrels stranded in a rough river, and Coco and Agott work to rescue one of the minstrels named Custas, who became trapped after a falling boulder disabled his legs. However, Coco and Agott are suddenly apprehended by the Knights Moralis, witches who maintain order in the witch society. The group's captain Easthies accuses Coco of using forbidden magic during the rescue and decides to erase her memories. | |||||
