-Op Mc? Yes! -Daughter? Yes! -Multiple worlds? Yes! -Vast Lore? Yes! -Fastpace? Yes! ... "You either Die a Villain or Live long enough to see yourself as a Hero." ~Probably Spark --------------------------------------- Spark, the lofty young master of the Dwight family, had always been a mystery. His true abilities were never known until the day he stepped onto the frontlines. In one awe-inspiring exhibition of power, Spark shocked the world and sent the coalition army of the five emperors into a chaotic retreat. Now, with the eyes of the world on him, each faction lusted to uncover the secrets behind his unparalleled strength. Still, in spite of the rampant curiosity and greed, nobody had the guts to confront him directly. And with every rumor spread of his feats, a question burned in every mind: was Spark this powerful all this time, or was he casting an illusion of strength before everybody's eyes?
A heavy silence settled over the room as Princess Elize's gaze swept over each of her siblings once more.
"But I don't think city-wide bounty will be enough," she continued. "We'll need backup forces from the Emperor Academy."
Her words sparked a low wave of murmurs. The Emperor Academy housed some of the most powerful ascendants, skilled in ways that few could match.
If they could bring in even a few of the Academy's elite members, they'd have a far better chance of rooting out the attackers quickly.
But the Academy's help wasn't easily secured; their power came at a high price, one that would require significant rewards.
"If only the Holy Scion were here," Elize mused, almost to herself. "With his strength, this entire mess would be over in a heartbeat."
The murmurs grew louder, but they were soon interrupted by Alex's voice. "Actually, I know of someone who could reach the Holy Scion."
