This sound cool! I’d say this currently reads more like a description than a pitch. My fav pitch formats are who is the mc, what is the conflict, and what happens if they fail? You can also have one that’s more character driven too but it needs to tell us a bit more about the story. Best of luck!

Hiya! Good start but I think this needs some clarity on what the conflict and stakes are. See if the last sentence can be clearer in terms of stakes. What exactly happens if Anya fails? Smaller note: the two buts in the opening tripped me up a bit, think you can make that smoother. Good luck!
