Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: The Known Histories

The formation of Aetherion Academy marked a pivotal moment in the universe's history. Established through the collective efforts of world leaders and heroes, the academy served as a beacon of hope, designed to prepare the next generation for the unknown threats that loomed on the horizon. Among the many notable figures, one stood above the rest: Quinn Blackthorn, a man whose legend continued to grow even after his ascension to godhood.

Quinn Blackthorn, often referred to as the 7th Demon God, was known for his unparalleled talents. By the age of 30, he had become a god, widely recognized as a hero who united various factions during a time of turmoil. His alliances extended even to werewolves and demon clans, traditionally regarded as adversaries. Quinn's efforts in abolishing slavery, ending terrorism, and fostering cooperation among different races earned him the respect and admiration of countless people. His influence was crucial in the creation of Aetherion Academy, which sought to cultivate peace and preparedness across the universe.

Despite his many accomplishments, the public knew little of Quinn's true abilities. While renowned for his evolution talent, allowing him to master any attribute or technique, he chose to share only the most basic versions of the abilities he created. To the general public, Quinn's ascension to godhood was already impressive, but only a select few understood the extent of his true power.

In stark contrast, Eryndor Noxvale remained a figure shrouded in mystery and controversy. Known primarily as the disgraced prince of the Noxvale Empire, Eryndor's reputation was marred by tragedy. As the son of the Noxvale emperor and the rare hybrid phoenix Seraphina, Eryndor was accused of killing his mother at the tender age of twelve. This event led to his exile from the empire and the tarnishing of his name.

The public's knowledge of Eryndor's history was limited, shaped largely by the video that briefly circulated, allegedly depicting him committing the act. While this video was quickly suppressed, the damage to Eryndor's reputation was irreversible. Many believed him to be a villain, a once-noble prince who had succumbed to darkness and ruin.

Most people were unaware of the complexities surrounding Eryndor's life and the circumstances that led to his downfall. He was viewed with suspicion and fear, and despite his intelligence and tactical genius, forming alliances was challenging. At Aetherion Academy, Eryndor was a solitary figure, often keeping to himself, his past haunting him as whispers followed his every move.

However, those who interacted with him recognized his potential. Eryndor's brilliance as a strategist earned him some degree of respect among those willing to look beyond the rumors. To many, he remained an enigmatic figure—untrustworthy and dangerous—but some believed that his cunning could prove invaluable in the battles that lay ahead.

The People's Perspective

To the general population, Quinn Blackthorn was a figure of hope and leadership. His work in uniting the universe's many factions had earned him a reputation as a peacemaker, and his contributions to the formation of Aetherion Academy solidified his place in history. Many viewed Quinn as the universe's best chance for survival against the unknown future, and his name was often spoken with reverence.

Though some speculated about the extent of his power, most saw him as a benevolent figure, dedicated to the protection of all races and realms.

In contrast, Eryndor Noxvale was met with suspicion. The accusations surrounding his mother's death and associations with dark magic had deeply tainted his reputation. Many saw him as a fallen prince—a man who had lost everything and been left to suffer the consequences of his alleged cruelty. The general public had little idea that Eryndor's life was rife with tragedy and manipulation.

Despite his exile and tarnished reputation, Eryndor's intelligence and tactical genius were undeniable. His time at Aetherion Academy offered him a chance to redeem himself, yet trust remained elusive. The rumors that followed him created a barrier, and most people were hesitant to approach him.

As the universe braced for the unknown threats that lay ahead, Aetherion Academy stood as a symbol of hope. It was a place where future generations would be trained, fostering a spirit of unity and resilience among the diverse inhabitants of the universe. Amidst the growing tension and uncertainty, the stories of Quinn and Eryndor served as reminders of the complexities of heroism and the shadows cast by past mistakes.
