"Wretched fools," boomed the god, "are your faces so thick with pompous vanity that you cannot see the treasures before you? You do not deserve to stand in the court of Men, nor the court of Justice." --- In the kingdom of Lytheria, gypsies are stains on a sea of the clean population; they are unwanted, undesirable, unwelcome. The people fear the gypsies and their stories of proud gods and heroes; yet, they are spellbound by the magic they can bring to life, and the prophecies that nearly always come true. The trees whisper of a child, with hair black as midnight and gleaming eyes bright as the moon, who will save her flesh and blood from ruin. She is not a princess, nor a hero. She is a girl who has lost everything, who has risen from the ashes once more to claim what is rightfully hers. And when her gypsy camp is burnt to ashes in the dead of night, she falls into despair. But the gods have already marked her path down, and chosen her fate. Five years later, opportunity comes with a bloody vengeance. Five years later, she is hunting for the truth. There is a vagabond, who is bound down by shackles of destiny; a heiress, who knows the pain of poverty; an orphan, who steals not gold, but dark secrets; and a peasant, who is affluent but aches for love. They are all connected by the same strings of fate, and bound to each other for life. They are not legends, nor heroes, nor mighty foes. But they have found their way together, and so will remain forevermore. For the gods are watching.

On the run from the ever vigilant mage-hunters, the Knights of Soma, Samael must find a way to survive in the worst conditions. But little does he know, the Knights of Soma would be the least of his problems. When disaster strikes, he has no choice but to rise and seek opportunity in the ashes.

Flames. Towering far above six metres, they lit up the thick blanket of night sky with their light, shining brighter than the stars of Olympus, a last revenge from Prometheus to the gods above. Ashes. That was what the lively, bustling village had been reduced to. Every living thing within a two-mile radius had been returned to their original form-- dust and shadows of the past, a mere memory that lives on in the minds of three. And I, I stood at the precipice above the village, spectating the burning with indifference as the cool night wind blew through my body and straight into my soul, stoking the flame of destruction within me. He had been right. I would eventually become a monster. ------------------------------------------------------------ The government was two feet away from the precipice called 'collapse'. The Geneticist- or, as the Fallen Heroes called him, the Big Boss- had defected, taking most of the powerful Heroes with him to effectively create a formidable army. Ignatius Kira is the Hero in charge of the last safe Prefecture in her nation. Alongside her side-kick and best friend, Sylph, the two take on the many piles of paperwork meant for an entire Hero Agency and the troubles of a Prefecture meant for more than two Heroes. However, when Tross, the former Guardian-gone-rogue of Ignatius's Prefecture, decides to pay the duo a visit, Ignatius is about to find out how much of an illusion her reality has been.
