309 Words
Kael waking from another dream.
This time, he stands before the spirit of Aetherion, the God of Life.
Aetherion speaks calmly.
"Your power has awakened... but you have only unlocked a fraction of its true potential."
Before Kael can ask any questions, the vision disappears.
At school, the five friends try to act as though everything is normal. But strange things keep happening.
Ryker accidentally ignites his notebook with crimson flames.
Elias stops time for a split second to catch a falling classmate.
Darius breaks a metal locker by lightly pushing it.
Zane struggles to control the destructive energy inside him, fearing he might hurt someone.
Kael secretly heals a student who was injured during gym class.
The friends realize they can't hide their powers forever.
Meanwhile, deep within an ancient fortress hidden beneath a dead moon, the Eclipse Covenant gathers.
Its mysterious leader stands before a map of the universe.
One glowing point appears.
"The heirs have been found."
He sends his strongest servant to Earth.
A masked warrior known only as Ravok, the Shadow Executioner.
His mission is simple.
Capture the heirs...
Alive.
That evening, Kael walks home alone.
The street suddenly becomes silent.
The lights flicker.
Shadows twist unnaturally.
A voice echoes behind him.
"So... you are the Heir of Life."
Kael turns.
A tall figure in black armor steps from the darkness, wearing a cracked silver mask. Violet energy surrounds him.
Without warning...
Ravok attacks.
Kael barely blocks the strike as a green shield bursts from his hand.
The impact sends him crashing through a wall.
For the first time, Kael realizes something terrifying.
There are enemies far stronger than ordinary humans.
Ryker, Zane, Elias, and Darius arrive just in time.
The five stand together.
Ravok smiles beneath his mask.
"Excellent..."
"Five heirs in one place."
He draws a massive black blade.
