Ascendancy

6 friends.
3 sides.
2 worlds.
2 lovers.
1 string of fate that keeps them all together.
This is a story of when humanity must put their belief in demons, because the angels have all fallen.

For as long as he can remember, Andrew has done his best not to use his powers. He doesn't hate them, rather, he feels they were thrust unfairly upon him. A responsibility he never asked for. He can control them like no one else before, but one thing he cannot control, is the toll it takes. Because of this, Andrew Thaddeus Shane has vowed never to use his powers again. On top of that, he has unreasonably high self expectations, struggles with depression, and recently, has started hearing voices in his head. Are they false, or something more? He doesn't know, until one day, his past calls to him.

Rachel has always been running. She was manipulated and betrayed by those who took advantage of her most vulnerable moment, and trusted them. Since then, she vowed never to trust again. But she might have to at one point, because the fires have started again, and nothing around her is safe anymore. Rachel Samantha McKenley must find a teacher. Because this time, her life depends on it.

On two opposite sides of the globe, would it be fate that pulls these 2 together? Or perhaps something more?
Perhaps something elusive?
Something... that humanity has fought over for centuries.

The answers will become clear, but only if the 2 most unlikely, and unwilling people in existence would join together.

But even if they do....
Even if they put everything aside for each other, to save the world...
They have no idea that the world is about to get much, MUCH bigger.
