Synopsis

In the sprawling metropolis of Aerion, where towering spires pierce the sky and ancient magic intertwines with modern technology, a secret society of extraordinary children has existed for centuries. These children, known as the Awakened, possess unique and powerful abilities that manifest when they reach the age of fifteen. Among the newest initiates is sixteen-year-old Kaelan, a brilliant and inquisitive boy with a passion for knowledge. When his power awakens, he discovers he can manipulate the flow of time, slowing it down or speeding it up at will. Meanwhile, his best friend, Anya, a spirited and athletic girl, gains the ability to control the elements and harness the raw energy of nature. As Kaelan and Anya navigate the challenges of their newfound powers, they uncover a sinister plot brewing in the shadows. A powerful cabal, led by the enigmatic Magister, seeks to control the Awakened and exploit their abilities for their own nefarious purposes. With the fate of Aerion hanging in the balance, Kaelan and Anya must join forces with other Awakened to thwart the Magister's plans and protect the world they know. Their journey will take them on a thrilling adventure through the bustling streets of Aerion, the hidden depths of the city's ancient catacombs, and even into the ethereal realm of dreams. Along the way, they will encounter allies and enemies, test the limits of their powers, and discover the true meaning of friendship, loyalty, and the responsibility that comes with being extraordinary. One day, as Kaelan and Anya were studying in the library of their prestigious academy, Arcanum, a strange energy began to pulse through the air. Bookshelves shimmered, and strange symbols appeared on the walls. Kaelan, sensing the disturbance, reached out with his power and slowed down time, allowing him to see the symbols more clearly. "Anya, look!" he exclaimed, pointing to the wall. "These are ancient runes, symbols of power. They're activating!" Anya's eyes widened in excitement. "This is it, Kaelan! Our powers are awakening!" As they delved deeper into the mystery of the runes, they realized that they were not alone. Other Awakened across the city were also experiencing strange phenomena, and it was becoming clear that something powerful was stirring beneath the surface of Aerion.

Chapter 1CHAPTER 1 - THE AWAKENING

The bell rang, signaling the end of another grueling day at Arcanum Academy. Kaelan, a lanky sixteen-year-old with a mop of unruly brown hair, heaved a sigh of relief as he gathered his books. He was looking forward to the peace and quiet of his dorm room.

"Hey, Kaelan,"

Anya, his best friend, called out, catching up to him. She was a petite girl with bright blue eyes and a mischievous grin.

"Want to grab a bite to eat before curfew?"

"Sure," Kaelan replied. "I could use a break from those ancient texts."

As they walked through the bustling hallways of the academy, they couldn't help but notice the strange energy that seemed to be permeating the air. Bookshelves were trembling slightly, and strange symbols were appearing on the walls.

"Have you noticed this?" Kaelan asked Anya, pointing to a peculiar glowing rune on the wall.

"Yeah, it's weird," Anya replied, her voice filled with curiosity. "I wonder what's going on."

Just as they were about to enter the dining hall, the lights flickered and went out. A collective gasp went through the crowd as the academy was plunged into darkness.

"What's happening?" a voice shouted from the back of the hall.

Before anyone could answer, a strange humming sound filled the air. The ground began to tremble, and the walls seemed to be closing in.

"We need to get out of here!" Kaelan shouted, grabbing Anya's hand.

They rushed towards the nearest exit, but the doors were locked. Panic began to set in as the tremors intensified.

Suddenly, a bright light filled the room. A figure emerged from the darkness, a tall, imposing man with piercing blue eyes and a flowing white robe.

"Fear not, young ones," the man said, his voice echoing through the hall. "I am Magister, guardian of this academy."

"What's going on?" Kaelan asked, his voice barely audible over the din.

"A powerful force has been awakened," Magister replied. "A force that threatens to destroy this world."

As Magister spoke, the tremors subsided. The lights flickered back on, revealing a scene of chaos. Books were scattered across the floor, and students were huddled together, their faces pale with fear.

"But who is responsible?" Anya asked.

Magister's expression grew serious. "The Dark Lord, an ancient evil that has been dormant for centuries. He has been seeking to gather the power of the Awakened for his own nefarious purposes."

"The Awakened?" Kaelan asked, his heart pounding. "What are they?"

"You, my young friend," Magister replied, turning to Kaelan. "You and Anya are among the Awakened. Children born with extraordinary abilities that manifest when they reach the age of fifteen."

Kaelan and Anya exchanged a stunned look. They had never heard of the Awakened before.

"But how do we know if our powers have awakened?" Anya asked.

Magister smiled. "Simply reach out with your mind. Feel for the energy within you."

Kaelan closed his eyes and focused. He felt a tingling sensation in his fingertips, as if electricity was coursing through him.

"I can feel it," he said, his voice filled with wonder. "It's like I can... control time."

Anya also closed her eyes and concentrated. She felt a surge of energy flowing through her, a connection to the elements around her.

"I can control the elements," she said, her voice trembling with excitement.

Magister nodded. "You have both awakened to your extraordinary gifts. It is now your destiny to stop the Dark Lord and protect this world from his evil."

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.
