[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.

Sevan crouched down, his sharp eyes scanning the tunnel floor as he picked up a small, smooth rock.

He turned it in his fingers, examining it closely, before bringing it to his nose and sniffing the air. His expression grew more focused as he turned toward the passageway from where the scent seemed to be strongest.

Adrian, standing with his arms crossed, let out a laugh. "You look like a dog, sniffing around like that."

Sevan shot him a glare. "Shut up. There's a hidden entrance somewhere." He dropped the rock and straightened, now running his hands along the walls. "The scent is coming from here, but it's not coming from an open passage. It has to be seeping through a crack or something."

Aiden, standing nearby, flexed his fingers, his firelight flickering in his palm. The dim glow illuminated the rough walls of the tunnel, casting long shadows.

Sevan glanced back at him. "Make the light brighter."
