Intro. No one remembered exactly when the war started. Some said it was a silent dawn. Others swore the sky darkened before the first scream. But the truth was simple and cruel: the world was never the same after that day. Shadows are no longer just the absence of light. They started to move, observe… choose. Cities collapsed without warning. Governments fell within weeks. And ordinary people discovered, in the hard way, that power doesn't choose character. It was in this chaos that they emerged. Not as heroes. Never as saviors. But as survivors. Kael took the lead when no one else had the courage to decide who would live and who would die. Cassian turned strategies into invisible weapons. Riven learned to laugh while the world burned. Nyra made information her sharpest blade. And Soren… Soren became the name whispered before death. They didn't fight for justice. They fought for control.
