JOURNAL ENTRY BY MICHAELA - EPISODE 1: "LEGACY"

Dear Journal,
Today was just like any other day at that stuffy boarding school in San Francisco. Jacob and I tried to keep our heads down, navigating through the corridors, avoiding the bullies who seemed to have it in for us. I wish I could say it was easier, but it's been tough, and I've had enough of their torment.
After classes, we found ourselves cornered again by those obnoxious brats. But something strange happened today, something that turned our world upside down. As they taunted us, I felt an intense surge of anger rising within me. And before I could even comprehend what was happening, my hands started glowing with an otherworldly light.
The bullies stepped back in awe, but I was just as stunned as they were. I looked over at Jacob, and to my astonishment, he had a similar glow around him. It was like a burst of energy I had never experienced before - our dormant powers awakening. We didn't even know we had powers, but somehow, we had tapped into something extraordinary.
I watched in amazement as Jacob's powers took on a subtle and gentle hue, a stark contrast to my own fiery and intense display. It was a moment of confusion mixed with awe, and I knew our lives would never be the same again.
But that was just the beginning of the chaos. Amidst the commotion, a group of angels appeared, their presence almost ethereal. And leading them was Azrael, a menacing figure with eyes that seemed to pierce through my soul. He claimed we were a threat to the celestial order, and I couldn't believe it. We were just two siblings trying to survive high school, and now we had angels on our tail?
I didn't know who to trust until our school counselor, Irene d'Anvers, showed up. She had always been reserved and enigmatic, but today, she revealed her true self. Irene told us the truth about our parents - Casey and Angela. They erased our memories to protect us from those who might exploit our Nephalem heritage. That's what we are, Nephalem, beings with extraordinary powers from both human and celestial realms.
As Azrael closed in, Irene shared our father's long-forgotten plan - a supernatural road trip with the Wayfinder, an ancient magical 1976 Gran Torino station wagon. A journey we were meant to take once we matured and could control our Nephalem powers.
I felt a mix of fear and excitement as we embarked on this otherworldly quest. With the angels on our tail, we followed Irene to find the Wayfinder, a car that could take us not just where we wanted but where we needed to be. It was both exhilarating and terrifying, realizing that our lives had been a lie and that we were part of something much larger than ourselves.
As we drove off into the unknown, Jacob and I look to each other for support. We knew the road ahead would be dangerous and filled with challenges, but we were determined to face them. The awakening of ourpowers was just the beginning, and I had a feeling our journey had only just started.
I'll keep you updated, Journal, as we continue to unravel the mysteries of our heritage and face whatever awaits us.
