[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 prestigious 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 Soleil, a region in Espera. 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. 

Far more apocalyptic.

Aiden took a step back, his fingers still curled tightly, his breath evening out as the stinging from the scratches settled into a dull ache. His eyes stayed locked onto Emmeranne.

"What game are you playing?" he snapped. "If this is some intimidation tactic, you better stop now."

Emmeranne didn't react immediately. She merely blinked at him, arms loose at her sides, like she wasn't the least bit fazed by his accusation.

Aiden took a step forward, fire flickering at his fingertips. "Lopt knows it was you who killed Savion. What, because I'm a Chase you'll kill me too?"

That got a reaction. A small one. A barely noticeable flicker of something in her dark eyes.

Then, her lips parted, and she let out a breath.

"You never took my advice. I told you not to trust Lopt."

"You-" His voice came out rough, his throat dry.
