Sinossi

“Syranda and magic are an interconnected tree with the same root, with many branches, and beautiful fruits in many shapes and colours.”

 
When the dear leader declares a group of people as enemies, what would you do? Do you keep quiet because you are not one of them, or do you stand up for them?
 
Syranda, once a peaceful democracy, has gradually become something darak and sinister under Angelus, the Minister of Defence. Historically benefiting from individuals with special abilities, the country now persecutes them, fostering an enemy image to solidify control.
 
Angelus' daughter, Vitu, was born with a unique ability, which her father chose to keep hidden. As a teenager, Vitu realized that her father prioritized his service to the regime and personal ambitions over her well-being, leading her to flee. During her search for an escape, she gained understanding about her abilities, other people, and herself.

 
"The prey within us will cease tonight, and by sunrise, the predator will rise with the dawn!"
