Pulled from a hopeless (if powerful) future back to the moment of Earth’s integration to try to improve the outcome, Serenity has met unexpected threats and unexpected allies - even friends. Everything is different this time.

It’s been a bit over five months since the first Tutorial.

It’s been one success after another; humans have discovered how to find portals and even found out that they can use the same technology to locate large-scale spells. More than that, all of the portals have finally been closed. Thousands are dead, but most of Earth is celebrating: things can finally go back to normal!

Well, mostly.

The return of magic to Earth is waking old, long-lost secrets. One is already loose, growing its power as it hides from those who might stop it. The forces that once suppressed these dangers have grown brittle, for they have their own secrets that may prevent them from completing their ancient task.

One such ancient secret is Apollyon, whose curse has restricted the peacekeepers for centuries. One truth is revealed, but many more remain to be found. Despite this, Serenity’s attention lies elsewhere.

The Tutorial itself has brought danger, both from change and what people have learned and from some hidden force that is trying to turn the Tutorial to its own ends, kidnapping people who attend. Where are they being taken, and why? Is it a plot against Earth or simply a way to steal people?
