[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 forest remained still, as if holding its breath. Aiden's chest tightened as he stared at the arrow lodged in the flag. The cheers from the watching students outside the dome began to rise, faint but unmistakable. For a moment, it looked like Ivara had sealed her victory.

Instead, the arrow quivered where it was embedded, stuck fast in the fabric without dislodging it from its branch. The realization hit Aiden like a lightning bolt.

Ivara's eyes narrowed in frustration as she jumped down from the branch where she had perched. "Lucky," she muttered, her voice carrying an edge of irritation. "But that won't happen again."

Aiden felt the pressure of the moment, his heart pounding in his chest.

He couldn't let this opportunity slip away. The flag was still within reach, and he wasn't going to back down.
