Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Echoes of Eternity‎

Cape Town, South Africa, 2023

‎The sun rose over the vibrant city, casting a warm glow over the bustling streets. In the suburb of Constantia, a prestigious private school, Aurora Academy, stood as a beacon of excellence. Unbeknownst to the mortal world, this school harbored a secret: every student possessed a unique, supernatural ability.

‎Among the student body were two families, unaware of their divine heritage. Aethereia, the child of creation, had married a mortal, and their children, Elian and Lila, attended Aurora Academy. Tenebris, the child of destruction, had also married a mortal, and their children, Kael and Ayla, were students at the same school.

‎Elian and Kael, both 16, were in the same grade, but their families' ancient history had fostered a deep-seated animosity between them. They represented the opposing forces of creation and destruction, their abilities reflecting their divine lineage.

‎Elian could manipulate time, creating localized temporal loops and eddies. Kael, on the other hand, could warp space, teleporting short distances and creating small distortions in reality.

‎Their abilities often clashed, causing unintended consequences. During a school experiment, Elian's time manipulation intersected with Kael's spatial warping, creating a miniature wormhole that sucked up several lab equipment...

‎The incident sparked a heated argument between the two, with Elian accusing Kael of being reckless and Kael retaliating that Elian was too controlling. Their disagreement ended with a challenge: a supernatural showdown at the school's annual talent show...

‎As the day of the talent show approached, the students of Aurora Academy prepared to showcase their unique abilities. Little did they know that the true battle would be between the children of creation and destruction, with the fate of the universe hanging precariously in the balance.
