[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 next morning, Aiden was sitting on the edge of the infirmary bed, testing his legs as Miss Seacole approached with her usual calm emeanor.

"You're free to go," she said, looking between him and Ivara. "Both of you. But take it easy, understood?"

Ivara, already up and tying her boots, grinned at Aiden. "We're not made of glass, Miss Seacole. We'll be fine."

Aiden smiled faintly, though he still felt the weight of everything that had happened.

"Thanks, Miss Seacole," he muttered as she walked off to tend to other patients.

As they exited the infirmary, the bright morning sun pouring through the hall's windows, they were greeted by Adrian and Sevan leaning casually against the wall.

"About time!" Adrian called out, straightening and smirking at Aiden. "Thought you two were planning to move in there permanently."

Sevan glanced at Ivara. "Glad to see you're alive too. Though I'm not sure if Aiden can say the same after that duel."
