The Way Of The Voice

At the turn of century, a war ravaged Earth. With more than half of our population wiped out, an unstoppable army ravaging the surface, we had no choice. We used the nukes. Though we won, and life as we know struggles on, the discovery shocked us all. The Aeterna, the all-powerful government that utilizes both fearsome technology and arcane magic to protect it's civilians is always shrouded in ambiguity. Their only appearances are during selection tests, where they take the prodigies, valedictorians, olympians, our best and brightest, and offer them the greatest gift of all - immortality.

It was only when Avril Stryker - beautiful, intelligent, mysterious - arrives where the finds his entire life and everything he has known challenged.

And nothing was ever the same.
