"It's said that even the flap of a butterfly's wings can cause a typhoon halfway around the world.."
He tells me stories of a girl, beautiful in mind and body with such poise that contained its own charm. Her irises are storm clouds, reigning a form of sunlight, in which she received her name. She was adored by everyone, as she was something of royalty. There were even stories that the world had been split because of her; those who adhered by her, and those who chose to omit her. He tells me that no matter how much she tried to keep both kingdoms, Vitium and Amara, in peace, they continued to clash against each other. She tried with everything she was, but failed horribly after they burst into war. She fell into her own recession, and became bitter in spite of herself. As punishment for the two kingdom's expanding hatred for one another, she created a third kingdom. One in which anyone who disobeyed orders were banished to. Once there, he says that they're forced into what she calls "The Trial". In this game, people disappear never to be seen again. At least, that's what the children are told.
There's something much more morbid and horrifying going on in the kingdom of Kiaus, and I intend to find out about it.

Cassiopea's School for the Gifted
In a world where magical creatures and humans intermix, there are two types of magic and two types of people. Dark magic and light magic. Good people and evil people. Our main character is going to learn that your powers do not define who you are as a person. Arion Griffin lives in a society where people with light magic are 'good' and people with dark magic are 'bad'. He comes from a long line of dark magic. Unfortunately, this causes many problems for his social life since his family's reputation precedes him and makes it so no one will talk with him. He is worried it will make his greatest fear come true. He is terrified he is on the path to becoming evil like his parents. Then, one day at school he gets an invitation from Cassiopeia's School for the Gifted. Sure he's heard of it, but only in rumors. The school is just for magical creatures to learn more about themselves and their history. It was made over three hundred years ago and still run by a fairy named Cassiopea and her daughter Cassia. Arion is excited to go because his parents refuse to teach him anything about other magical creatures other than dark magic. They believe it is irrelevant for him to know because they think he will take over the world one day. And why should a leader know anything about his subjects? Arion convinces his parents that if he goes to the school he can do recon on the other magical people so he can learn about them and make it easier for him to take over. With no friends, no siblings, and a very negative outlook on life, he heads to Cassiopeia's School for the Gifted. He makes friends and learns that just because he has dark magic, doesn't mean he is evil. *Idk if this is actually a good story but I had a lot of fun writing it! :) *This story has been editedComplete
