It has been one month since the S-Class Promotion Test. Summer break is just two short weeks away, and Kiro and the rest of the Honors class are more than excited for the three month log relaxation period. However, after a visit from the commander of the Talora Royal Army, summer for Kiro and Team 4 would be put on hold as Arch-Mage Maylin assigns them their first mission: to retrieve the Book of Xerxes, an ancient book of immense power. Seems easy enough, except that second, unknown group is also after the book, and their intentions for the book are all but pure. Unknown to not just Team 4 but the whole of Slayer Academy, the search for the Book of Xerxes would merely be the start of a series of hardships yet to come.

Slayer Academy. The top magic school in the nation for training Slayers, humans given the ability to slay the many beasts scattered throughout the land. For most Slayers, the school is a way to get stronger. For others, it's a way to acquire knowledge. But for incoming student Kiro Mystwalker, it's nothing more than another step on the staircase. After all, he's an elite even among the Slayer community . . .

Warning: old (bad) writing from over a year ago. Discontinued. Astra Sterling is classified as a Glass, one of the weakest of them all, the lowest on the food chain. When her classes are going well and she's making friends, finally settling in, strange, bewildering things begin happening. Students are disappearing, chilling messages are written, then the prince attending the school vanishes. The clues begin matching up. Someone, something, has been taking students and its in the Woods. A dark place forbidden because of the danger that even the strongest cannot face. The one that isn't worthy of being taken is her, the one made of glass.
