Of course! I didn't want to put in too much detail so I wouldn't be obnoxious, but since you asked...

Basically Ciara, Anlon, Dahlia, Laila etc. Are all characters I've had running around in my head for about two months now. But being on mobile, it's too tedious to write a whole story here without an actual keyboard and mouse and stuff. So I decided to incorporate the characters into this story to see how well that went.

Just before Ciara started Level Two, a fire started in Mysterium  (I think it's called? Basically where Dex's dad works in the books.) Her mother, a powerful Hydrokinetic, went to put out the fire. Her father was only a Polyglot but was a successful Alchemist who specialized in all kinds of fire and sold a lot of firestarters for Aurenflares and stuff, and so he went with her with quicksnuff to help. The fire was too strong and they were forced to run. Two people were killed in the fire, and Flann, being infamous for knowing a lot about fires and having been seen in Mysterium during the fire, was arrested and they decided that since they weren't 100% sure he was guilty, he banished him. Selene and Ciara decided to go with him, as well as their young son. Selene forced Ciara to attend Exillium as it was the only way banished people could return to the Lost Cities.

So fast forward a few years to Level Four when Ciara meets Anlon. She notices his unique ability pin and sees him steal an extra fruit for lunch. She confronts him quietly, and he admits he isn't used to eating such meager portion. His father was an emissary and he was only supposed to attend Exillium for that year due to a tradition for the Inflictors of his family  (basically a long time ago one of his ancestors abused his powers and tried to destroy the Council so they started this tradition in hopes that the Inflictors would learn humility and to be grateful for what they have.) She sees him in her Hemisphere (Left) and hopes he doesn't start any trouble. That night she manifests as a Guster.

After a string of events at Exillium, Anlon and Ciara begin a sort of friendship/pact, and talk occasionally at lunch or during lessons. A Beguiler known as Laila notices this and wants in. They agree to meet in the forests after school and show their faces to one another and mark their cloaks to know who is who. Ciara begins to trust Anlon when he reveals his father was strongly against banishing her father.

Every so often they're visited by their family friend Maxime. He stops by with supplies like food and firewood and sympathizes with the family's misfortune. Ciara likes Maxime, as she thinks he's the only one who truly cares about her family. However her and Anlon decide to find whoever was responsible for the fire. After Maxime makes a slip-up, mentioning things about the incident he shouldn't know, they grow suspicious. They sneak into the Lost Cities with the help of Laila's Beguiling, finding evidence in his home- the same firestarter that was used to ignite the Mysterium fire. The next time Ciara sees Maxime, she confronts him privately and tells him that she'll let him off if he tells the Council he started the fire on accident. He pretends to agree and be intimidated. The next day Anlon and Ciara are talking excitedly about their success when Maxime finds them and traps them with Shadowflux. He explains that he hadn't intended for Flann to take that blame, but it was a happy coincidence. Ciara is enraged but ultimately helpless as she and Anlon are trapped. Maxime promises he only wishes to wash their memories of his involvement and of eachother. Luckily Laila was spying on the whole thing and fetches Selene and Flann who trap him with water, forcing him to dissipate the shadows. The Council catches wind of this through one of the Exillium coaches. They hear Maxime's confession, and allows Ciara's family back into the Lost Cities. Ciara convinces the Councillors to allow Laila back too since she was the one who saved them and it's a happy ending.

Obviously a lot more detail would be put into an actual story but this is just a "quick" summary of what happened (I'm really bad at summarizing.) The story is supposed to take place when they were all 14, and what I imagined this rp would be when they were 15 (Rami would be a character in the second story) but I'm just pretending their lives have been pretty normal since then.))
