The College of Eternity looms, a sanctuary for the magical and the mysterious. Guilds dictate fate: the Unchosen, lost and mundane; the Potentials, destined for power. Amidst this arcane hierarchy, a red-sealed letter arrives. It promises truth about one’s lineage and guides a new student via their pet. Hours later, on a sparse train, silence is broken. A brown-skinned boy with vibrant red hair approaches, eyes sharp and confident. 'Hey stranger, mind if I sit?' he asks, introducing himself as Killian, his presence shifting the quiet journey.
