A darkness descends over the land. People fall one by one to a mysterious brainwashing sickness. And it's up to one girl to stop it all. Will she conquer her  own darkness in order to save the world.
Maria used to be an average girl until she found out she could wield water magic. She and her father travel together to a magical dimension, Elementum, where Maria can study how to wield her magic at the Academy.
But having magical powers isn't all she thought it would be, as she gets caught up in intrigues, secrets and, to top it off, she becomes the centre of two prophetic visions: one predicting that she'd start the end of the world and the other predicting that she'd save it. But in order for the second one to happen, she must remain in the dark about a lot of important details.
Friendship and love, heartbreak and betrayal follow her on her journey as she struggles to protect the world from a danger she can't even comprehend. 
Will she fulfill both visions? Or will she crumble under the weight of the first one and let darkness reign eternal upon the land. The truth lies ahead, should you be courageous enough to unveil it.

Somehow, even after all that time, the feelings in the room had barely changed. Her dad was still scared to say the truth. He was still scared for Maria's safety. Her mom was still worried and tense, but looking composed. And Maria herself? She still felt like she was missing puzzle pieces, but at least she was starting to see the bigger picture with more clarity. 


"So this darkness that I am somehow supposed to defeat can brainwash people into doing its bidding and it has been spreading around all of Aetheria.
