If you wake up to find a brown box with your name on it, waiting for you in front of your doorstep, it is probably us. Or maybe someone who doesn't want you to know that we exist, so take care. Inside this box, you will find recordings, letters, pictures, and probably a half-eaten Big Tasty sandwich. Listen to every recording; read every letter; study every picture; and do not eat the sandwich, because when the time comes, they are your only way of surviving. Skipping pleasantries, even though there is nothing pleasant about what you're about to hear, let's get started.
11 Kings and Queens
10 Evil immortals
2 Ancient Brothers
1 Deadly mission
Enjoying (really not) their life at the German University in Cairo, ten best friends find themselves attacked by a supernatural being and fall, by an elevator, into Arotheman: A world in a dire need of rulers, who, apparently, are them. Drawn into the politics of a once peaceful and magic-rich world, they discover things about each other, themselves, and that their own world is merely a speck in a sea of other worlds. Light and Shadows; fire and Ice; Earth and Wind; Darkness and lightning and water; Magic and time. They all must unit and face the danger that looms over Arotheman and their world: The Elentrances: Immortal beings opposite to everything that is good and beautiful. In every story, good wins, somehow. But what if evil had already won?
In a world where select few can manipulate Yin and Yang energy, equilibrium has been maintained by fair treatment to users of both sides. In recent years, however, this delicate balance has been threatened by extreme beliefs. Those who have the power to tip the scales are fueling flames of suspicion and turning man against each other.
The world is disintegrating into ruins; droughts, floods, famine, corruption and distrust among Yin and Yang Congregants threaten to upend life as it is.
Aletheia is just a girl from a normal family in Minato. Her family just well off enough to send her to her dream in life: the Congregate. But she is not a Supplicant and her family has no ties within the Communion.
So she enters the Congregate almost a blank slate, only armed with what she read in her hometown, which wasn't much. She has no idea what is coming for her as her life up to that point had been quite normal, specked with the typical existential crisis many of you would know well.
What was the meaning of life? What was she here to do?
When Aletheia meets Elora at the Congregate - oh beautiful, talented Elora - Aletheia realises that she does not have a Glorious Purpose. No, she thinks she has found her meaning in Elora.
For reasons she cannot comprehend, Aletheia believes Elora is the one who will wrestle the world back into balance, and she is merely along for the ride. She doesn't realise her companionship to a Elora's journey is more important than she knows.
Follow her as she navigates through self-doubt, uncertainty, love, loyalty and friendship, searching and grasping at her meaning while she fights alongside Elora, whose shoulders carry the burden of saving the world.
