Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, Calen was utterly shocked by the conclusion Tharstan had just spoken.

“Resembling my mother? My mother is still alive?”

“Yes, I am convinced that the dream you experienced was a sign, Calen. Perhaps your mother is still alive, and she is asking you to find her,” explained Tharstan. A glimmer of hope shone in his eyes as he said those words. Deep within his heart, he also longed for his daughter, Elira Tharstanis, despite the conflicts that had once separated them.

But Calen fell silent. He was still trying to comprehend every word Tharstan had said to him—about his mother still being alive, even though Tharstan himself had previously told him that Elira Tharstanis had died and had long since been buried.

“But didn’t you tell me yesterday that my mother’s funeral had taken place? If my mother is still alive, then where is she now? And who was buried inside that tomb?”

The questions spilled from Calen’s lips. Countless riddles surged thr

  • The Protective Energy Shield

    “Very well, we will trust your words. But if you break that promise, then we ourselves will drag Princess Avenya out of the Kingdom of Vynoria.”The people issued their threat to Calen Storm and Elara Wynn, warning them of the consequences should they betray their oath.“We will never betray our own people. Believe me, I will take my daughter away from here as soon as possible,” Calen Storm replied with firm conviction.With that promise, the crowd dispersed from the palace grounds, carrying with them the words Calen had given.Elara Wynn turned to him with eyes filled with intensity. “Are you certain of what you just said? You would take Avenya from the palace and live with her?”What Calen had told the people left Elara astonished. He had never mentioned any such house before, so she needed an explanation from her husband.“Let’s go inside. It’s better we speak within, Elara,” Calen replied, not answering directly. Too many soldiers and servants still watched them outside.“Very wel

  • Self-exile For the Sake of the People

    Calen Storm had finished his hunt in the forest, accompanied by Larry. They rode back toward the palace of Vynoria, carrying the game they had brought down.But their pace slowed when they overheard villagers talking and calling Avenya’s name.“What that child did is extremely dangerous. Perhaps one day she’ll be able to destroy this entire kingdom with that hazardous power of hers.”“Indeed. Princess Avenya was born like a monster, hiding behind that small body and pretty face. I’m sure no one would want to get near her if they ever saw her true nature.”“Today our flower garden was destroyed and burned to ash. Will Queen Elara Wynn and King Calen Storm lock their daughter away? They should apologize for letting this happen, what Princess Avenya did frightened everyone. If the fire hadn’t been put out quickly, our houses might have burned too.”Those words stabbed Calen Storm. It was not the first time he’d heard the people point fingers at Avenya, and the barbs cut. He forced himsel

  • Treated Like a Monster

    Five years later…Avenya had grown into a beautiful and astonishing little girl. Everyone who saw her would be captivated at first glance, charmed by her undeniable allure. Even when kings from other realms visited the palace of Vynoria and laid eyes on Avenya, they wished to arrange alliances with Elara Wynn and Calen Storm, hoping someday Avenya could be betrothed to their sons.But Elara Wynn and Calen Storm firmly rejected every proposal. They refused to meddle with their daughter’s heart, and besides, Avenya was still a child, it was far too soon for her to think about love and marriage. For now, Elara Wynn and Calen Storm simply allowed her to grow up like any other girl. Yet in truth, Avenya was different. She carried within her a unique power that set her apart from all others.She lacked nothing, except for the unstable force within her, yes, the Primordial Energy.Every night during the full moon, Calen Storm and Elara Wynn would perform a ritual together. A ritual to unite

  • The Best Choice

    Elara Wynn watched Calen Storm’s every move and finally realized he seemed anxious.“Calen looks torn,” she thought. “He doesn’t know whether to help me or his mother. But her condition is more urgent, she needs his energy more than I do.”With her attendant’s help, Elara Wynn adjusted her seated posture.“Calen, don’t worry about me. Your mother’s condition is far more critical. Use your energy to save her. She needs you now,” Elara Wynn said, choosing to yield and urge Calen Storm to prioritize Elira Tharstanis.Hearing that, Calen Storm looked at her, uncertainty in his eyes.“But what about you, Queen Elara? Your condition is just as critical. You need an energy transfer too.”Elara Wynn shook her head. “I’ll manage. Don’t worry about me. I can hold out on my own energy. Give yours to your mother now, she needs you.”She smiled, t

  • The Last Energy

    Tharstan stood to the right of Elira Tharstanis, while Carmen stood to her left. They exchanged glances, their faces filled with deep seriousness.“We must channel our energy to Elira, to release her from the chains of the Dark Elf leader’s power, Carmen,” said Tharstan.Carmen nodded. “Very well, my King. The energy that forged those chains is connected to Drakhtarion’s power, isn’t it?”“That’s right, and we must act now, Carmen. Prepare yourself.”The chains that bound Elira’s body were forged by Drakhtarion’s power. Therefore, Tharstan and Carmen had to overcome the force that kept Elira imprisoned. Though Elira’s energy was vast, it was still suppressed under Drakhtarion’s dominance. If the chains could be broken, she would be freed from his control.Tharstan and Carmen gathered their strength and began to focus. Their hands linked above Elira’s body, eyes tightly shut.The chains encasing Elira radiated a suffocating darkness. As Tharstan and Carmen poured more of their energy i

  • The Dark Elf Assault

    In the kingdom of Vynoria, tension filled the air. Countless arrows whistled through the sky, accompanied by the echoes of incantations and the clash of steel.Elara Wynn relentlessly commanded her soldiers to stand against the dark elves’ onslaught. As queen, she too fought on the battlefield to protect both her people and her daughter, Avenya. She was certain the arrival of the dark elves was tied to both Avenya and Calen Storm.“Give it everything you have, do not fall back until this battle is over! They came bearing the banner of rebellion, so make sure you are not defeated by their assault!” Elara commanded.The dark elves fought with conjured shadows, clashing against Elara’s radiant energy. They struck with cunning, lethal tactics, believing Vynoria’s strength had waned after the natural disaster and Calen’s departure.“Your Majesty, perhaps you should send word to Prince Calen Storm at once. We need his power to withstand this attack!”One of Elara’s personal attendants, trai
