A world filled with magic and mystery, ancient celestials and new enemies, dragon royalty to elven poverty, cursed lands and forbidden ruins, Ethereal is home to the people from the dying Alecte Realm. 

In the world of Ethereal, Scott Powers lives an unsuspecting life while slightly ignorant of the outside world. In Erebus, the Upper region of the Underworld surrounded by walls, Scott and his family live their ordinary lives until, one day, Scott discovers umbra, misty shadow-like beings, have invaded Erebus underneath everyone's noses. While Scott plans to move them back to the underworld, mysterious forces drag him out of the walls and into the vast world full of magical creatures and spiritual abilities. 

Outside of the Underworld, Scott gets to meet the creatures he's read about for years, and he somehow becomes friends with a few princes and princesses. Along the journey to get back home he encounters all kinds of misfortunes, he wants to help but can he? 

And along with the impending doom he faces, he also experiences his and others' pasts through bonding with them. Broken dragon families, hurting siren royalty, and thieving orcs will be met and their pasts will unfold to create a bigger picture within a ripped paper. 

What role does Scott have in this world? And how can this teenager cope dealing with romance, betrayal and friendship?

Powerful

During the Trials of Exit, Scott was able to use his abilities but any other time he was in the dungeon, he could not. Basic telepathy and speed wouldn't work. His teleportation barely worked in the trials. And every time he did use his abilities, he would be extremely exhausted afterwards. 


Technically, fighting the Dragon Lord counted as the final trial in the Trials of Exit, meaning, Scott could use his essence and his abilities. 


Demons are probably the most complex creature on Ethereal. Their abilities differ from one another and they're more of an independent species. Most demons have similar features, including their blood red eyes. Some demons have abilities to change their appearance, disguising themselves as other essences. Other demons have magic like witches. And most demons have telepathy and teleportation.
