Apókryfos

Mystic Ardelle Gomez lived a life of quiet normalcy-until everything crumbled.

Her mother's death from cancer shattered her world, but it was her father's transformation into a hollow, distant man that left her truly lost. Forced to abandon the city, Mystic was taken to her late mother's hometown, a place she barely remembered-a place veiled in shadows and secrets.

There, she was greeted by faces both familiar and strange, none more unsettling than her enigmatic aunt, whose presence carried an air of foreboding intrigue. Her new home was a grand yet haunting mansion, standing isolated amidst an eerie wilderness. The town itself whispered with unspoken truths, but it was Apókryfos Academy that truly sent chills down her spine.

The academy was ancient yet it seemed serene a palace unscathed by time, grand yet holds mystery that suffocates. Within its walls, she encountered peculiar people, unsettling stares, and a sense of something unseen watching, following her every move. But the strangest of all were the letters-cryptic messages that arrived without a sender, filled with riddles that led her deeper into the academy's mystery.

Something wasn't right. Yet something within her wants to know what's hidden within this walls-no not just this academy but this whole town...

To whom who must not be named rule this land without a care,
Yet he is fair enough to rule,
Enjoy both evil but heart to good.

Must I ask are you a hero or a villain?
A friend or a foe,
Someone kind or but pure evil,
Part of devine or who heartedly a devil.

To you who is pure,
Be careful what you seek,
For answer will not be easy to speak,
Everything is unsure but one thing is for certain. YOU WILL NOT REMAIN LIKE SNOW

The past, the present, and something far older than herself seemed to coil around her fate.

Why had her mother truly left this town?
Why did her father refuse to speak?
And most of all...

What was Apókryfos Academy hiding?
