[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.

"Why are you even awake, Aiden?" Sevan asked, leaning against the foot of Aiden's infirmary bed.

His blue eyes glimmered with curiosity, though his tone was laced with concern. Adrian, sitting cross-legged on the other bed, stopped mid-bite of a pastry to listen.

Aiden hesitated, his fingers brushing against the blanket. "I keep dreaming about it," he said finally.

"Dreaming about what?" Adrian asked, his brow furrowing. "Is this about Karro? Or-"

"The tree," Aiden interrupted. "I've been dreaming about this tree for as long as I can remember. Since I was a kid, back on Earth."

Sevan straightened up, his interest visibly piqued. "Since Earth? Wait. Hold on. This isn't just a recent thing?"

Aiden shook his head. "No. At first, it felt like just a normal dream. I'd see this massive tree in a glowing forest. It was… peaceful. Calm. I never thought much of it."
