Oh! Oh! Can I tell them?

No way. You're horrible at explaining.

No I'm not! Not this anyway. I've been practicing, see?

Did you seriously write a script?

Yeah! Please?

You can help, but that's it.

Yay!

(...)

We live in an unknown world, much similar to yours. Most people, we call humans.

Though they're not exactly... normal.

At birth, every human is gifted a power that would help them in their future, or at least guide them towards it.

These would be the Simple Gifts; amazing memory, the ability to tell when someone is lying, extraordinary charisma, enhanced stamina, you name it.

Yes. In your world, they are considered prodigies of some sort, but in ours, they are common folk.

Then, there is us. We are the actual prodigies of our world, though no one really calls us that.

They call us the Arcana.

We are gifted with extraordinary powers-

-destructive powers.

And you are one of us.

No one really knows how or why the Arcana exists.

-Or why we're all super hot to boot.

It's some sort of genetic mutation, they say.

They also said that we were too dangerous to be kept in society, that our powers would go out of control.

We believed them, foolish as we were. Our families willingly sent us away, in fear, in disgust..

I can't really blame them though...

Those who get caught live here, in Haven, cut off from society, treated like we have some kind of disease.

"Here in Haven, you will have all the freedom you want without having to worry about hurting people!" What a load of Bullsh-

Language.

Sorry~ And this is where we start our story.

Aren't you forgetting something?

Nope! Totally not.

The Minor Arcana.

Ugh, ew.

Our neighboring country, whose common folk share the same gifts as ours, have their own version of the Major Arcana in the form of the Minor Arcana.

They say that they're our destined rivals. That we're the only ones who could kill each other.

But in my opinion, they just wanted an excuse to have a war with kids as soldiers. Heartless.

So they began to train us as soldiers. They forced away all the mercy, all the parts that made us human.

They made us into the monsters that Society believed us to be.

And here's where our story comes to life.

Are you a rebellious teenager trying to escape their destiny?

Were you upset at your parents and resigned to your fate?

Do you just want to let life lead you to where you must go?

Or do you want to take your future into your own hands?

What's your story, newcomer?
