At First Light
In a story that looks quite different. The story tells of a strong adventure of a high school girl, Alex Laine, who still faces encounters with obscure lights on the city in a mysterious and continuous way. This girl has many abilities, as she soon develops dangerous abilities that turn her childhood friend Sean Tyrell quickly. But those capabilities do not seem to last long, as the authorities target them and chase them as officials try to discover the truth behind everything that happens mysteriously.
