[COMPLETED] [MXM] The god-like guardians have been part of mortal history for as long as the world has existed. They exist in the background, taking on different roles and guiding the mortals. The mortal realm has been split between the four different guardian factions: The air guardians, the earth guardians, the water guardians, and the fire guardians. Fire guardian leader Chatan is hiding something about himself. Water guardian leader, and his former lover turned enemy, Vitali feels like he's the only one that's noticed the change in Chatan. Mathieu is just trying to follow his twin, Chatan, and complete what he believes to be their destiny. Earth guardian Léonide is still searching for a reason why Mathieu suddenly pushed him away. Something sinister is lurking just beneath the surface of what the guardians believe to be their normal lives. Facing difficulties from increasing mortal problems, the guardians are pushed into their own battle. Chatan and Mathieu seem to be two of the few guardians who know what is happening with the balance of the world, but even they seem uneasy about something. It is up to Vitali and Léonide to figure out exactly what is happening before it is too late. The Sun goes dark as War rises.

For some, it's all about the glory, and living up to their family name. For others, it's an offer of security, of knowing where their next meal is coming from. And so they make the choice to enroll in one of several Academies, where they are taught the ancient texts, the history of the realm, and the sacred runes handed down by the gods themselves. At the end of their time there, they face a series of tests to be sorted into two castes: 𝗔𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀, the elite rulers, advance to the top positions in their field, deciding what is built, what is destroyed, where taxes go...and who lives and dies. And 𝘀𝘆𝗹𝗿𝗮, the servants bound by magic to their Aelaris. Seen as little more than an appendage and status symbol, they spend their days following their Aelaris and living for their demands, completely devoted and content in their role. The bond is considered sacred. It prevents the Aelaris from ever harming their sylra while ensuring the sylra is happy to serve. It is the Rite of Ascension that determines who belongs where, a process that measures worth and potential, through the power of the gods. Rian Argon-son has always believed he was destined to join the ranks of the Aelaris, working tirelessly to prove himself worthy. Meanwhile his nemesis Ileana, born into wealth and privilege, has always seen herself as a true heir to power. Their rivalry has simmered in all their time at the Academy, and now the final testing is upon them. They may be both top of their class, but ultimately the Rite of Ascension will decide everything. Both have prepared. Neither are ready. Cover by @Merlyn_Fereira
