The 7 Ruby Trinity

Elonia was unlike anything the girls had seen.

A realm of blended cultures, languages, and species — where dragon-run universities stood beside wolf-run defense barracks, phoenix art studios rose beside vampire-crafted libraries, and the sky was alive with runic sigils and floating trains. Magic pulsed through the cobblestones. Songbirds carried love notes. Lanterns whispered your name.

This was the Mainland Realm — the crossroad of all Realms.

And here, they would learn, live, and prepare to reclaim the rest of their broken worlds.

But first… they had to survive school.

Aetherion Academy, Elonia's most prestigious interrealm institution.

Uniforms shimmered in faintly shifting colors to match the wearer's aura. Students walked in formations like swan parades — royalty, nobles, warriors, mystics, and outcasts all wearing the same crest.

The girls entered through the North Gate, led by God Tyrin in mortal form — dressed in a velvet waistcoat and casual chaos. Aetherion had agreed to shelter them under the guise of an "honor exchange" program.

They were now officially:

Ayshia Starlight

Bloom Emberhart

Flora Mossveil

Erza Delmare

Techna Sandrune

Stella Frostmoor

Lucy Goldthorn

All secrets buried. All rubies hidden.

Until the time was right.

Ayshia stepped into the courtyard first — wind brushing her curls, eyes wide at the golden-glass towers and floating crystal gardens.

And that's when it happened.

He walked around the corner.

Tall. Hooded. Shadow-born. Graceful yet lethal in posture.

Ni-ki.

The second their eyes met —The world slowed.Her ruby hummed in her chest.His breath caught.

Flash.She saw stars collapse.He saw her fall from the sky.

A passing gust blew her schedule paper from her hands. It fluttered through the air like a scene scripted in fate.

Ni-ki caught it before it landed.

Their fingers touched.

Heat. Memory. Fire.Both gasped.

His hood slipped slightly, revealing his eyes — black and gold and burning.

"Have… we met before?" he asked, voice low.

Ayshia swallowed. "Not yet. But I think… I dreamed of you."

Ni-ki's hand clenched slightly.

Before he could speak again, a voice called out from behind.

"Yah, Ni-ki! Are you flirting or brooding again?"

Heeseung strode into view with Jay and Jake, all wearing the signature blood-trimmed uniforms of their elite class — the "Dark Sons," as the academy called them.

Sunghoon and Sunoo weren't far behind, laughing over some inside joke. Jungwon silently walked beside them, catching every detail.

When the rest of the girls turned the corner, everything shifted.

Seven vampire princes. Seven divine princesses.

The air crackled.

Eyes widened.Worlds blinked.And the Realm System shuddered slightly under the weight of reunion.

Jay locked eyes with Bloom — her fire aura clashing instantly with his shadow presence.Jake stopped walking when Lucy smirked at him like she'd already figured him out.Sunghoon met Stella's frosty gaze with a raised brow, and something between them snapped into place like ice forming over a lake.Jungwon glanced at Techna, and she scoffed before he even spoke — as if challenging him to keep up.

Sunoo stared at Flora and blinked. "You smell like honey and leaves. Is that normal?"

Flora tilted her head. "Do you always start conversations with scent comments?"

He grinned. "Only with girls who look like trouble."

God Tyrin sighed from the faculty balcony. "Oh dear. They've found each other."

Mistress Belladonna, watching from the shadows behind him, smirked. "Let the stars realign then."

In that single moment — on the courtyard of Aetherion — the prophecy cracked open.

The rubies pulsed in secret.

The old bond, thought erased by time, had returned.

And this time… no law could keep them apart.

Welcome to Elonia, where fates collide, and love rewrites the stars.
