Descent of Madness
The library was dark, had been dark for many years since the closing of the school which had utilized it. The shelves that lined every wall of the roughly square building had been stripped bare, their bounty of books carried off to the halls of other libraries. In the center of the room, embedded in the very floor of the great structure, was a clock whose movements echoed ominously throughout the desolate building. For the longest time only the clock was present to mark the passage of time, shining duly in the starlight that filtered through the glass dome that crested the library.
Then a footstep echoed in the dark.
Walking into a shaft of moonlight was a young man of average height, his spikey white hair shimmering eerily in the ethereal light from the heavenly body above. A book, retrieved from some unknown location, lay open on his left hand and the youth seemed to be reading quite casually from it. A devious grin spread across the mysterious youngster’s face as he continued to read, a trickle of delighted laughter escaping from deep within his chest.
Closing the book with a sharp snap, the youth looked up through the windows above him. Sparkling high in the heavens, barely visible by the naked eyes, a red spark suddenly began to glimmer. The trickle of laughter from the youth became a torrent, the book dropping unheeded to the floor as the unsettling explosion of mirth raced through the halls of the barren library. On the floor the great second hand of the clock made a thundering turn, the sound mixing with the laughter to signal the oncoming of something great and terrible.
The Basics: Based on the anime Mai HiME (if you haven’t seen it I highly suggest it), Descent of the Red Star is focuses on the oncoming of The Festival, a time where great danger descends upon the world in the form of the Red Star visible only by the chosen HiME, what the Star brings is unknown to most though the knowledge of its secret will come to light the closer it draws to the Earth.
To oppose the power of the Red Star are the HiME, 13 girls marked by a symbol of their power with the ability to materialize weapons from photons in the air and summon great beings called Children to do their bidding. Unknown to the HiME is a dark price to their power that many of them will have to pay. Each Child is linked to a Key, a person important to the HiME whose life force is linked with that of the Child. Should should one die, so shall the other.
You are one of the 13 HiME, blessed with the power to oppose the Orphans (monsters that begin to appear when the Red Star ignites in the night sky) and possible each other as the answer to the Red Star’s secret is searched for. Students at a recently re-opened academy, Fate has brought you all together at this spot for the sake of the world, the Festival is about to begin again only this time...the rules have changed.
