Seycran

When the worlds merged, millions died in a fiery hellscape, but by some miracle there were survivors and some of them developed godlike powers and named themselves Qounlay. Absorbing the life essence of fallen Qounlay to grow stronger, Risien paved a bloody path to power. Among his opposition, Keldon and Serana not only found love, but purpose: to bring an end to Risien's reign by combining their powers. When their quest culminates in a surprise pregnancy and the birth of Curian and Korana, they abandon the powerless Curian, Keldon is murdered, and Serana and infant Korana are taken captive. While Curian grows up on a farm outside the Village of Oth surrounded by friends and a loving family, to protect her mother Korana must learn to kill at Risien's command as he tries repeatedly to trigger her awakening. Emerging unexpectedly, Korana's powers blast through the dungeon where she's imprisoned, transporting her away as Curian's powers also awaken, sending a pulse of aura which causes Risien to order the monstrous Dark Yersinias to find its source. Drawn together by tragedy, fate, and a mysterious voice, the teens finally meet in Crowstone before fighting through the terrifying Forest of Echoes and finding their way to Battle Marathon City where they reunite with their parents' friend Waren, and meet Lord Lyethan, who quickly begins their training so they can succeed in the city's brutal arena and defeat Risien. Under Lyethan's guidance, they learn how to fight as a Qounlay—they learn to use their aura at will, defeating opponent after opponent. But, eager to devour their auras and make himself unstoppable, Risien marches on Battle Marathon City, wreaking havoc. A battle of titans ensues as the fighting goes from street to street and the body count rises until, using all her power, Korana launches Risien out of the city in a stunning defeat that forces his troops back and allows the newly formed team of fighters a chance to live, unite, and prepare to fight another day.
