[A work of fiction]

# Qichi Lake Academy {QLA}

- an otherworldly institution concerned with the admittance of students who have been infected by The Weave and trains them in all divisions to stand against invasions by unnatural forces

- located in the midst of a massive lush forest and is being head by Master Lorenzo

# The Weave

- an infectious spell that attacks early to late teenagers and plants in them untamed magical powers

- when not taught on how to control and force it into an advantage, the Weave could push one to the brink of their sanity and cause irreversible madness

# Leading Level {LL}

- a complete guide developed by the Qichi Lake Academy, QLA, to facilitate easy ascent along the line of magical prowess and give more accurate localisation of prowess

- there are six leading levels:

*Ordinary

*Soarer

*Prime One

*Regal

*Demon/Saint

*Savior/Tyrant

*LL1

These levels are achieved as one accomplishes various dangerous feats, moving higher up the levels

__The Ordinaries are the starters of the Leading Level. They are only a tad bit higher than mundane humans and as such, there is a limit to the much they can accomplish.

But, these Ordinaries have a divination towards combat skills and are willed into the various sectors of combat

__The Soarers are conspicuously better than the Ordinaries in that each receive a special attribute on promotion to the Soarer.

These attributes are;

• Shapeshifters: possess the ability to change form on command

• Sirens: are capable of deceiving and manipulating the minds of their victims

• Doves: possess ability to deflect mind and body damage to a certain level and have the ability to heal broken souls

• Ravens: posses ability to inflict mind and body damage to a certain level and have the ability to break souls

• Lions: possess inhuman strength and are able to deflect physical damages to a certain extent

__The Prime Ones are simply promoted versions of the Soarers. With promotion, comes benefits in weapons and in precision

A Shapeshifter will acquire weaponry that is capable of changing forms and adapting to a variety of situations, called weapon mimicry.

A Siren will acquire an increase in the ability of mental and animal manipulation

A Dove receives a significant increase in their ability to heal broken souls and are much less susceptible to mental and body damage

A Raven acquires a significant improve in the ability to instill fear and judgement and inflict mind and body damage

A Lion will acquire a significant boost in inhuman strength and is much less susceptible to physical damage

All individuals who have been promoted from a Soarer to a Prime One receive more specific weapons in their distinct sectors

# Gates of Chaos

- gates that open to release countless batches of monsters and destructive creatures

- there is a no specific time for openings as such every year

- during scenarios when the Gates are unceremoniously opened, magic conservatories are expected to release their best and well assessed students to destroy the invading Creatures of Thames.

# Phases of Supernatural

- also called Phases of the Weave

- it is a slow, stealthy infectious disease that affects mostly teens and youths of the population

- starts as a complex of symptoms such as visual and auditory hallucinations, nightmares, sweaty nights, migraines, dizziness, and nose bleed

- an individual experiencing the first stages of the Weave is registered by the government or private practice in a magic academy as the Weave is simply the assignment of supernatural powers

*Phase 1; induction phase where one begins experiencing the symptoms of the Weave such as visual and auditory hallucinations, nightmares, sweaty nights, migraines, dizziness and nose bleed

*Phase 2; in unfortunate situations when the individual is incapable of being trained in perseverance through these symptoms, then the outcome will be losing one's sanity and slowly becoming mad

*Phase 3; in a state where the individual is properly trained in both mental and magical aspects, the individual is fit to hunt down Creatures of Thames and obliterate them, he/she will ascend through the Leading Levels

Each Leading Level tougher than the former

This is the last phase of the Weave, induction into the Supernatural

- he began experiencing symptoms of the Weave when he was fifteen years of age

- he moved through the Leading Levels with assistance from a plethora of skilled and experienced Masters

- and as such, these creatures escape the Gates of Chaos and wreak havoc on the world.

# King Harold
