Four kids. Four houses. Everyone at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry believes that no friendship can exist between all four houses. Rivalries blossom between Gryffindors and Slytherins and show themselves daily. Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs make friends within their own houses. How could four kids, belonging to houses with such diverse personalities, become lasting friends? But that's exactly what happens. Four first years arrive at Hogwarts, fresh eleven-year-olds who have no idea what they're doing: Merida of Gryffindor, Jack of Slytherin, Hiccup of Hufflepuff, and Rapunzel of Ravenclaw. The boys are instantly inseparable. Merida and Jack develop a hatred to rival even that of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. Rapunzel, the bystander, watches as the three deal with each other. Quite suddenly, in a meeting half of the school is watching, the four somehow forget their differences and can't remember them. Of course, no one thinks it will last. But first year passes, and they're still friends. Second year flies by, and nothing has changed. Third year comes and goes, and their bond is still strong. And then fourth year arrives. Something has happened over the summer. Differences are upon all four. One is hiding something, something big. Another has been acting strangely and won't let anything slip. How far will the other two go to discover the secrets? Will the miraculous friendship survive them? With Harry Potter around the school with them, nothing is the same every day!

"And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. ~ Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." "This... is not the end..." he tells me in a weak but sure tone, making it hard for me to doubt even in a time as dark as this... There's something more in his eyes. "He's gone back in time and killed them before they were Guardians..." I say. "All except you... He does not know of your origins... Keep it that way... And find them." There's something in his voice that tells me he's not talking about the Guardians. "...Find who?" "Find the girl of the golden flower... Find the girl who never misses... And find the man who tames the beast of the night..." He speaks with deep meaning behind his words. My eyebrows are pulled together in thought but also devastation because of the life leaving his body... I can't help but be confused however at his odd words... He takes my hand in both of his and shuts his eyes... a golden light burning through our palms as the world around me disappears and everything shuts down. I feel like I am falling but also unconscious... Until my head hits grass along with my back and I don't know if I am dead or alive. ~ A Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons tale ~

When the world fell apart and the dead started walking, four districts came together; They built walls, made peace treaties and provided for their own. For a moment, it seemed society could finally bring back humanity, but one district desired power and slaughtered those who stood in their way. The kingdoms fell into war, and ruin, and chaos. Thousands died, friend turned on friend, and life crumbled. The power-hungry came to rule. With only three districts left, four citizens will rise from the ashes to bring tranquility once again. This is where the rebellion began. Cover done by me and inspired by KellyClarito! *Mature content for adult language and violence.
