Recap
Welcome to the adventures of the brave and bright duo of Avora – Mel and Conji. In the first series, we explored the land of Avora where robots and wizards live together peacefully. Mel and Conji started school and were excited to learn all the spells and machines they could get their hands on. Conji had fun being introduced to computers and had already started lessons on Notepad while Mel was learning basic spells. But Lord Ero, the dark lord, was not very happy about it and froze the whole of robot-kind to stop Mel from learning Magic. Under the Elders’ guidance, Mel and Conji saved the day by using MS Paint and a special spell that brought Avora back from Lord Ero’s spell.
