“I also believe that those dark elves are connected to your mother, Calen. If that’s true, I’m certain they’re hiding her in a very secret place. So, in my opinion, it would be better if we split up now and search in different areas.”

Carmen offered her suggestion, and they immediately devised a strategy, dividing the territories that each group would cover in their search. Calen also gave everyone a stern warning to be careful, worried that the dark elves might reappear and launch another ambush. At the very least, they had to be far more alert now, because danger lurked everywhere around them.

“If anyone finds a clue, senses something unusual, or even discovers my mother, give a clear signal. That way, everyone can gather at a single point quickly,” said Calen after finishing the discussion with them.

“Understood!”

After that, they all dispersed. Tharstan went with the soldiers of the Drakhtarion Kingdom, Carmen went with Larry, while Calen decided to search on his own. At first, La

  • The Stolen Sword

    “How do we get inside the house now, Larry?”“Come here, follow me. You can enter through the gap I created in the energy barrier. But please be careful, because Calen Storm is near the house,” Larry replied with full confidence.“Alright.”After that, all the Shadow Troops dismounted from their horses and stepped into the area where Calen Storm and Avenya’s new residence stood, protected by the layered shield. However, since Larry had created a breach in the barrier, he could lead Aerondale’s shadow warriors inside to carry out their mission.“Where is the sword?” asked the commander.“It’s inside the house. Just search within, I’m certain you’ll find it there. I’ll stay outside to watch Calen Storm’s movements and make sure he doesn’t enter or interfere with your task. He’s busy training with his daughter, so his attention won’t be di

  • A Grudge That Never Dies

    Meanwhile, a resurgence was underway in the Kingdom of Aerondale.“Are they all training at the base now?” King Theron asked as he sat upon his throne, turning to one of his personal guards.“Yes, Your Majesty. They’ve been training since morning, as you ordered,” the guard replied.“Good. I will go and see them now.”King Theron rose from his seat and walked toward the camp where his soldiers were drilling. For the past five years he had worked to rebuild his strength, recruiting new warriors from his lands to replenish Aerondale’s forces. He was determined to crush the Kingdom of Vynoria and avenge the defeat he had suffered.When King Theron reached the training ground, he was greeted by lines of soldiers practicing relentlessly, archery, swordplay, and even techniques of inner energy. Each man and woman moved with focus, performing drills assigned by their commanders.“At last, after

  • 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
