Athen had always lived a solitary life, as without any family or friends, he struggled to survive in his poor, forgotten hometown. The only escape from this grim reality came in the form of tales of magic told by rare visitors from the distant capital.

The academy's facilities were endless, and students were ecstatic that there were no adults to tell them what to do with their free time.
