Background
Welcome to the town of Huntsville. It's a small, northeastern American town with an excess of farmland. There's some basic shops and a relatively large residential district, but the majority of its citizens work in other towns. It's not a particularly special place. To most, it's just another name on the map. But to those who live there, it's their entire world.
Some friends are hanging out in the library when they notice a book shoved underneath piles of paper in the recycling bin. Thinking that it fell off of the nearby shelf, one of them goes to pick it up. What they discover is something much different. It's a book written in what looks to be Latin, titled “Rei”. It doesn't have have a library bar code on it. Feeling a strange connection to the book, they decide to keep it.
That night, they each receive an online message. It's telling them to look for the other members of a prophecy, giving incredibly specific information about each person. What's even stranger is that the friends know everyone of them – despite the message having been sent from somewhere nearly halfway across the country.
And so begins their quest. According to the message and the little that's been translated of the book, they have the ability to access something called “Rei”. Rei is a part of their soul that manifests in some sort of bladed weapon, though it usually takes the form of a sword.
The prophecy fails to mention who they're supposed to fight against, but they decide to seek out the other chosen ones. They're going to train like they've never before, and learn what the rest of the mysterious book means.
But, of course, they all have the same burning question.
Can they put saving the world on their college applications?
