For decades there have been those with the ability to call to their very souls, and manifest the powers within themselves to take physical form. These people are known as the Ascenders, an elite class of fighter only seen in one of every ten thousand people, and even that was a stretch. However, because of the raw abilities of the Ascenders, war among the planet of Xeno has been ceased for hundreds of years.
Through the centuries the numbers of Ascenders have increased rapidly, but the sheer amount of them is still minor compared to the total population. Ascender have become the main fighting force of the kingdoms, and with such a high demand for these talented individuals, there needed to be a way to train them to the best of their abilities.
The Ulix Academy for Ascenders is one of the four schools on Xeno established specifically for Ascenders, where only Ascenders reside. Elements, void, force, light, and dark; the five Ascension types that exist within those who posses the talent to Ascend. Even among these elite fighters, there are those of a higher standard, the ones who can Ascend more then one of the five.
The most powerful of these individuals is the mythical Infinity, the person who can Ascend all five types, if they exist at all. The Infinity has long since been a myth, a legend, But all legends do have some truth.
Suzuka Senkokuboushi is one of these talented individuals, and despite her hardships, is starting her first school year at UAA. It's the start of her Journey through the life of an Ascender, and all the dangers that comes along with it. Times at Ulix are even more dangerous now than ever before. With a dark aura brewing through the cosmos, will the Infinity appear once again when they're needed most? Or will UAA and all of Xeno crumble?
The night is dark. There's no moon, no stars. We rush through the thicket of the woods. The sound we hear is the pounding of our running feet.
We run into low hanging branches, fighting against them until we stumble until a clearing. My partner grabs my arm and leads me down another path. "Wait! Where are the others?" I shake my arm from their grasp. "Where are they?" There was a stillness to the dark woods. The type of stillness that holds danger within its shadows.
"They'll be fine!" I get pulled back down the path that I was being led to anyhow. "They know what to do. They won't find us if we stay separated." I ran alongside my hidden pair. The moon is at its peak at night. It shows us the way. "It's not him I am worried about, Sunistral. It's her." I hear a sharp breath behind us. I swear it was! But it was disguised as a searing gust of cold wind. When I looked back, there was nothing. Just an endless pit of darkness. It was then that I knew that it had found us.
This dream somehow finds me ever night. And every night I wake up in absolute confusion. I have no memory of my parents or where I came from. The only true constant of my existence is the visits that my nightmares make at night and during the day.
I have yet to understand the echos of them. Until I find myself where it all began: at Pearl Academy.
