The world long ago stopped being safe for mythical beings. Faced with suspicion, fear, persecution, and worst of all, disbelief, they had only two choices: try to survive, hiding until they were eventually hunted and killed, or to intermarry with humans, diluting their blood until their children could almost pass for "normal." Now, there are almost no full-blooded magical creatures left.

The gods, too, suffered greatly in our modern age, their power waning as people's belief in them faded. Many of the gods simply disappeared, ceasing to exist. Only four remain: the Goddess of Desire, the God of Blood, the Goddess of Knowledge, and the God of Masks. But their powers have been severely injured; the amount of magic they can perform themselves is next to nonexistent. They, instead, can only bestow powers on others.

And the only ones who can wield such magic are the few who still have mythical blood.

And so the gods created the Hallows Academy, their last hope to ever regain power. Between 12 and 18 they found was the best age for the transference of magic, the body young enough to be receptive, the mind old enough not to abuse it, and so they gathered as many mythical descendants as they could between those ages.

Now, those chosen will be put through a series of lessons and tests by the gods, to determine not only if they are worthy of receiving such power, but which god they are most suited to devoting themselves to.

But even though the gods are working together for now, there are tensions between them. The day might not be far off when alliances will be broken, and the loyalty of their followers tested...

Will you be passionate enough for the Goddess of Desire? Strong enough for the God of Blood? Wise enough for the Goddess of Knowledge? Or cunning enough for the God of Masks?
