[WSA 2025 Entry]

Aiden Chase has always lived in the shadow of his family’s legacy. As the eldest son of the renowned Chase family, celebrated for their relentless pursuit and capture of Magi- beings cursed with extraordinary powers- he was raised to uphold their name. But everything changes when Aiden awakens to a power of his own, a fire within that marks him as the very thing his family hunts. When his father hunts him down, Aiden is rescued and taken to Genvah Academy, an illustrious academy for Magi hidden in the outskirts of Soleil. At first, Aiden hopes the academy will offer him solace and a chance to reclaim a semblance of peace. But Genvah Academy nor Soleil is no haven. 

Beneath the city's golden spires lies darkness- secrets, betrayal, and a looming war that threatens to consume everything. As Aiden unravels the truth about his powers and his family’s legacy, he must navigate a world far more dangerous than he ever imagined. 

Peace is fleeting, and survival comes at a cost.

The room bustled with lively chatter and the clinking of silverware, but at one particular table, three boys sat slouched, their faces reflecting exhaustion from the night's misadventures. Aiden poked absentmindedly at his toast, Sevan sipped his tea in resigned silence, and Adrian attempted- poorly- to appear unaffected, though the dark circles under his eyes betrayed him.

Sevan finally broke the silence. "I'm serious, Adrian. Never again. Whatever your 'plans' are, count me out next time."

"Come on, Sevan, admit it. Last night was kind of exciting. Besidesss, technically, we didn't start the fight. Shiloh did." Adrian grinned.

Aiden shot him a tired look. "You threw a karatula stone at him. You started it."

Before Aiden could argue further, a familiar voice interrupted their table. "Morning, sleepyheads!"
