Legends... Mankind has become quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains throughout time, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past. Man, born from nothing, was strong, wise, and resourceful. Sadly, he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness, the creatures of destruction... The "Stalkers," set their sights on man and all of his creation. The forces clash, and in these times of darkness it was sure that man would no doubt be wiped out and sent back to the void in which he once came. 

However, even the smallest spark of hope can be strong enough to ignite change, and in this spark they found, within them, a power that could help them even the odds. This power was appropriately named "Aura." Nature's wrath in hand, man lit his way through the darkness, and in the shadow's absence sprouted hope, change, civilization... Life. 

But even the most brilliant lights begin to flicker and die. And when they are gone... Darkness will return....

The image of a woman flickered onto the screen, though most could hardly notice with the sound of the helicopter still distracting them. The inside was full of many nervous young adults, some talking amongst themselves and others merely fidgeting with their weapons. Regardless, a good amount of the group had noticed the dark haired woman talking to them, her hair worn up, her eyes a bright topaz, and wearing a formal black and white suite with a dress bottom that reached down to just before her knees. 

"Hello, and welcome to Magister Academy," she greeted formally, her voice somehow drowning out the sounds of the helicopter without any sort of strain. "My name is Nora Valkery. You are among a privileged few who have been lucky enough to be chosen to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is going through an incredible time of peace, and as future Magisters, it is also your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated that you have the courage for the task, and now it is our turn to offer you the knowledge and the training to prepare you to protect our world."

And with that, the image flickered and she was gone. Almost immediately after, the helicopter lurched and haunted with a slight jerk. The young adults looked about strangely before the doors finally slid open and let light flood into the vehicle. As the students began to rise and make their way out of the helicopter, eager and excited, Anthony decided to join them from behind. 

Upon stepping out I to the daylight, Anthony was taken aback by the sight. The wide open campus grounds with trees and benches spotted all around, the castle-like building that would act as their knew home and school, the large sparkling water fountain that might as well have been a pool, and the view... Magister Academy was rested on the side of a large hill, allowing it to look over Fortitudo city with ease. It was just... So much to take in...

"Th-Those are shotgun gaunlets!" Anthony cued suddenly, his eyes immediately from the stunning breathtaking scenery... To weaponry.... "Ah! & she has a Venom Aura charmed sword! I'd know those markings anywhere!"

& so he went, jolting about with arms outstretched like a small child who wanted a toy as he fawned over the weaponry of complete strangers...
