Magus Wars : Willpower

**Magus Wars : Willpower** is a Story Arc of the the Exteria Multiverse. It takes place in Interra and follows the perspective of the nihilistic Mitsuki Tenkuro. It follows the continuity of Magus Wars : Insight and is followed by Magus Wars : Wild Hunt.

## Main Arc

### Academic Intrigue

Mitsuki, a powerful Tenkuro mage, is summoned by the Academia's '*House Artemis* in a failed summoning ritual - that instead of controlling her, binds her to Patience Esperin, the ritual's intended sacrifice. Due to Patience's benevolence, Mitsuki agrees to spare the other students, and learns that the Academia's twelve Houses have each summoned a Divine Servant in a massive contest of magic, although Mitsuki quickly grasps that something else is at hand in the magical university.

When investigating, Mitsuki is joined by Deborah, **House Hermes** 's summon, who helps her with identifying a powerful aura hidden amongst the servants. This aura turns out to be Ouroboros, **House Demeter** 's Servant, who went into hiding while noticing the presence of two Reapers among his rivals. Nevertheless, Mitsuki took great interest in Ouroboros, admirative of his obsession with survival, and chose to side with him and help him investigate the war's true purpose.

### Twisted Prophecies

The trio quickly discovered that **House Hephaistos** had catastrophically summoned Majora, a sinister entity bent on destroying the world, who threatened to end the war by wiping the Academia out if it wasn't stopped in three days. Mitsuki and Ouroboros successively encounter **House Hera** 's Andraste, and Uria from **House Apollo**, but despite Patience's best efforts to make Mitsuki and Uria collaborate, the rift between Angels and Tekuro-born is too great to be overcome.

Mitsuki later confronts HAYLEY of **House Dionysos**, who illuminates Mitsuki on the truth about the world: there exists an Artifact able to help predict the world's future in the Academia, but said artifact also prevents HAYLEY from using her own predictive abilities. HAYLEY suspects higher powers are at hand, but due to her arrogant behavior, she dismisses Mitsuki who in turn refuses to help her, and the pair go on their own way.

### Towards the Headmaster

Deborah is later joined by Tatyova Belotchkina, her master, who works with Aeden von Fuedrick from **House Athena**, alongside his servant Belten Isawa. Aeden's informations allow Mitsuki to not only uncover Majora's position, but also to determine that it is manipulated by the Academia's Headmaster, member of **House Zeus** and summoner of an incomplete version of Solomon. Mitsuki goes on to confront Solomon's master, although Andraste at first attempts to stop her - but Andraste instead clashes with Uria, mostly out of boredom, leaving Mitsuki and Maou to advance.

Mitsuki and Maou go on to confront Solomon's master, and learn that he is trying to seize and analyze the afore-mentioned artifact, the Songstone, in order to make the world's future known to all in order to prevent purposeless conflicts; but he is promptly defeated. The pair goes on to fight against Majora, and manages to win with the help of Adagio Dazzle and Nukah Athens, from **House Aphrodite** and **House Ares** respectively. However, Adagio and Mitsuki's bitter words weaken each other's mental.

### A Sound Secret

With the war's main threats down, its victors discuss with arbiter Loxen, who leads them to **House Poseidon** 's summoner Dorian, a reasonable man who explains that the Headmaster had already stolen part of the Songstone, and seeks to retrieve it. Taking advantage of Adagio's weakened mindset, Dorian leaves with her towards a hidden part of the Academia, while Mitsuki, wavering and unsure that she can really make bonds with those around her, almost succumbs to the dark urges within.

With Patience and Maou's help however, Mitsuki manages to pull herself together, and guided by Aeden, understands that she and Adagio were actually set up; she quickly advances to the hidden zone at the Academia's top, where Dorian - in fact a descendant of the Lorelei who used an elaborate ritual to absorb part of the Songstone and become a Divine Servant himself - attempts to use Adagio's unique abilities to distort the world's sound, in order to create the perfect future, and was the situation's whole instigator.

Mitsuki manages to bond with Adagio, dismissing her doubts and allowing Adagio to break free from Dorian's influence, breaking his omnipotence. Unleashing her full power, Mitsuki quickly manages to defeat both Dorian, and HAYLEY who attempted to take advantage of this to seize the Songstone at the same time, making her the ultimate victor of the war. However, instead of taking the wish for herself, she instead allows Ouroboros to wish to be rid of the Blight afflicting his body, and chooses to remain with him after the war.
