The sleek black car pulled smoothly up to the grand iron gates of Evelyn Crest University, a sprawling estate where ambition wasn't just nurtured — it was forged.
Darren adjusted his collar, eyes sharp beneath the shadow of the hood he rarely removed. Beside him, Aria's twin gaze gleamed with determination, mirroring his own.
As they stepped out onto the manicured grounds, heads subtly turned. Whispers floated through the air — newcomers who didn't fit the usual mold, yet carried an undeniable aura.
Almost instantly, they caught the attention of a trio of young women lounging nearby — each radiating a different kind of power.
Victoria Lancaster, with her poised elegance and cold stare, studied Darren like a queen appraising a rival.
Sabrina Montgomery, playful and mischievous, nudged Alexis Whitmore, whose confident smirk promised that she was always up for a challenge.
Not far off, Evelyn Carrington watched from the shadows, her quiet gaze unreadable.
Darren met their eyes for a brief moment, a spark of silent acknowledgment passing between them.
Aria gave his arm a reassuring squeeze. "This is just the beginning."
Darren nodded, the weight of their mission heavy but clear.
This is where Kairos begins its rise.
