Okay.....the plot was mostly explained during the character introductions but here I'll clarify things, starting from the beginning.
Okay, so all the people are all called Shadow-Hunters. They fight the shadows and everything that comes out of them. (mostly animals) but Augustine is an example of a strong human shadow creature.. So when I talk about partners, I mean that the Shadow Hunters have to work in pairs to ensure safety. Konnie does not abide to this rule, however, and that is why after two years of fighting by herself, she got paired with Angus. The partners also have to wear somewhat similar clothing, which remains as their uniform until they reach 16 and get a different one. The uniforms they yahave to wear do NOT look like fighting clothing, but I just decided to get creative there and make it nonsensical. 
Konstantine studies and works for a place called the Academy. The Academy takes in young shadow hunters (about twelve years old) and trains them until they are about 18. Konnie, Sarasa, and Vachella are all really skilled so they got put in the Academy when they were about ten. Sarasa knows that there is something suspicious going on at the Academy. She noticed how all the teachers and employees are now talking in hushed voices, about how "He" is coming. One day, while in the library, a monk whom works there left early, leaving Sarasa alone in the dark. Curious, she went to his office and found two books titled "the Rubyait of Omar Kayam" and "The Academy: A History." she reads up on both and sees how they are connected. Now she suddenly knows who "He" is, and she wants nothing to do with it. Now, when Sarasa runs away, she rips her clothing and she suddenly gets a necklace (that she can never take off or hide) virtually from the Academy to symbolize she is a runaway. When Angus and Konnje follow, they too get the eye necklace of the runaways. and then they go on a quest (to seek the Holy Grail!) (lol no not really) to find Sarasa, even if it could take years.
Konnie wants to find Sarasa because she knows she has been acting strangely so she wants to find out why. She thinks it could involve the fate of the Academy and everyone in it.
