Climate change, health issues, political crisis, food security, are just some of the top critical issues of today. Seeking help from a world-renowned fortune teller, Juliana Genovesi had been the go-to solution of world leaders for years. And eventually, it became the primary.
Lately, signs of inconsistency from the peace agreements from the World Leaders Association threatened its members. As a result, Juliana then predicted an endless war in the future. Desperation for protection and panic bothered the leaders that worsen the association's image.
Juliana stepped in and came up with a solution. Each country must pick a representative age 18 to 22. These representatives will enter an academy in Saithilien, a kingdom found in Parthenia. Parthenia is a fictitious world that appears in many myths.
Saithilien has the reputation of a chaotic country for decades in its world. It has been in the top list of mysterious deaths, unsolved crimes, and ghost stories. Weird beliefs also spread throughout the country.
The representatives will experience and witness the chaos on purpose. In this way, Juliana will see who'll survive and how the kids deal with it, and it will reflect their country's role and stand during the upcoming war. But, her true intentions, sending the kids to Saithilien was eventually exposed. Finding her true identity was her main goal.

Saithilien

The busy streets of Erantha seemed to double its crowd as noon approached. Monique and Katsuro were in a sigh of bliss looking around the big town, then they met a fellow student, along the way. It's Penelope Vadne, Katsuro greeted her with a smile from a far distance. When they're about to pass each other, Penelope intentionally evaded in order to avoid Monique and Katsuro. The shocking response of Penelope made them wonder. Their eyes followed Penelope, and Monique grew suspicion on her. 


They've finally reached Russo's shopping center. 


"Cirque de Laviche." Monique read a text in a poster near the center's entrance. 


"They're Parthenia's greatest entertainers. They’ve performed in different towns in all kingdoms. And here in Saithilien is their next stop." A well-dressed street boy approached them. 


"It says, they will perform in Filerethea. Where is that?" Monique asked.
