The sun was setting on Altdorf, a modern city with history dating back thousands of years. Altdorf is also known as the City of Hope and Despair; it is known for having the highest average of both educational prowess and the rate of suicides in Germany, traits the locals believe are caused by supernatural means, but nothing has been proven. Some locals also report seeing shadowy figures skulking about during twilight, and thus most of the populace tend to put warding charms on their doors out of superstition.

One such figure could be seen standing at the roof of the school you were attending, like a spirit come to contemplate the human world. The mysterious person wore a hooded cloak black as the deepest night, accentuated by purple highlights in the form of streaks and diamond patterns. The costume had an otherworldly look to it, and was surely not a design of any brand known to man.

There were five Sleeping Ones in total summoned to meet with the elusive creature that introduced itself simply as Qubus. Some of you may have known each other already from school, while some may have been entirely new faces. However, you were all connected by the same purpose, and the same destiny that was about to unfold. One of the girls had short brown hair, wore a blue hoodie and jeans, and seemed to be really excited about the opportunity.

You ascended up to the rooftop through the open front door of the school. As soon as the last of you arrived up the staircase, the mysterious person turned around, and revealed itself to be a girl your age as she said in a low, almost whispering tone:

"So, you have decided to become Magic Knights then." 

She removed her hood. Her long, black hair weaved in the light breeze as her purple eyes looked upon you with unnatural coldness yet also fierce determination.

"Fools."
