The Ravkan war. It was a nightmare on land, full of magic, fear, and blood. Though, the only thing that made it more bearable was being in the same unit of the Second Army with your childhood friends, Mingyu and Seungcheol. You three were raised in the same orphanage, where at a young age you discovered that you and Seungcheol were Grisha, and Mingyu was a human. Despite the magical differences between you three, it never stopped you from joining forces to fight against the darkling- a powerful and feared woman, whose creatures of darkness- Nichevo’ya- had stolen countless lives and threatened others.

And one fateful evening, your lives all changed. One trip into the Fold- a wall of darkness that split the country in half, exposed Mingyu's powers. All your lives, everyone and you three swore he was human, but when a Nichevo’ya had attacked Seungcheol, a blinding light drove the monsters of nothingness away. And when you three were honored for uncovering Mingyu's veiled powers, the war had only gotten worse.

When you were training with Seungcheol while Mingyu slept, Seungcheol's squaller wind wasn't strong enough to blow away the incoming darkness, and your abilities combined with his were far from enough. Mingyu had been engulfed by the darkness that only belonged to the darkling herself, and stole your best friend in front of your very eyes. Mingyu was the only one in generations to have the ability to summon light and stop the Darkling, and now, he was taken by her.

He was the key to winning the war. Despite the pain in yours and Seungcheol's hearts, you needed to get him back, or die trying.
