PROLOGUE
THE ELVEN WAR

  The fort kept shaking and the man of majestic vibes was seen sitting on the trembling throne. He was in a war that have taken a lot from him, but even the united world was having a rough time fighting the Parvian King Samson. After losing his dominant hand in betrayal, many had thoughts that the king would crumble but he bounced back at his enemy with twice the vigour.

  The Elves almost lost all the members of the Elven Council as Parvian Right Commander Xandor, butchered his way to the Clandor Royal palace. One of the rulers of the Clandorian diarchy system the Elven Council crumbled through his hands. Parvians were still standing strong against the whole world, but another betrayal was making its way to the king's back. His most trusted subordinate, the Left commander shook hands with the Alliance and lead the Elven army inside the castle.

  Samson faced his friend turned enemy, Elanor, the current King of Clandor and his wife, Queen Reina, as two on one. It was practically impossible for them to best the knight king in front, but Samson was not whole. He already had lost his sword hand and the artefact which shook the world along with it. He could feel his end nearing, but before his end, he at least wanted to bring the traitorous left commander with him. No matter how much he searched for the traitor while battling the two, he could not find the backstabber with them.

  With the reinforcement coming from the Allied Nations' side, Samson finally lost the strength to fight them off and ended up as the failed king, as the Karmish blade tore his soul along with his heart, and he mumbled the words to his long-time friend and enemy.

The Parvian sun will rise, sending the world in Dread.

  King Samson accepted his death, laughing madly as the Parvians laid down their arms and cried in anguish at their king's death. Samson was the strongest existence of the current time and his fall lead hungry predators to prey upon the golden goose called Parv. But as always, the man with a plan already prepared some contingencies. Concordia, who was a neutral body, intervened against anyone killing further, enforcing the peace treaty between Clandor and Parv and making the other countries take their hands off the defeated nation.

  Parvians were not the only ones who lost someone important in this war, the rulers of Genas lost the only man capable of supplying the rarest resource called Sunstones too. People ravaged the nation, hiding in secret and turning the country upside down, but they found nothing. With Concordia enforcing strict actions, they had no choice but to give up their search for the time being.

  Grimgar claimed the body of King Samson as a justification for him being the third prince of their country. Parv had no choice but to comply. They lost their king's body as they grit their teeth. The treaty also robbed Parv of its riches and after the watered-mouth nations were finally forced to leave the country, it was back to being the lost cause just like before the arrival of their late king.

  He had shown them a golden age of prosperity, but it was short-lived. The nation was in chaos and people were in a cutthroat situation to survive, but the kingmaker came out of the shadows as he took the reins of the failing nation. The Parv survived further regression as Arat disclosed himself as the bookholder of the Mandate and the chosen one to rule the Parv in the absence of their king.

  The human and Elves were not the only Enemies, their king thoroughly humiliated the Ancients and they owed a visit to the Parv. The first thing Arat did as the Mandate suggested was to close off the nation with the old defensive fog called God's breath that in past used to imprison their Nation. The irony was, it became the sole thing protecting it from others and even an Ancient did not dare to step on it. The world was eyeing the pie but the sudden isolation and the several failed attempts to enter the Parv made them finally give up on the thoughts of dividing Parv for themselves.

JUST AFTER THE KINGS DEATH

  Two men confronted the Edenberg couple who were charging straight for Clandor in revenge. they had no choice but to stop since the men who intervened were Norwin Grimgar and the left commander, the traitor who led to the fall of Parv. Sierra lost herself in rage and, along with Rudolf, was ready to die fighting, but Norwin gave them the stillborn child and offered a deal that blocked the path of their vengeance.

Seeing the stillborn legacy left by their child, Sierra hugged the infant boy dearly and accepted the deal. She left with her husband, not to be seen in the Genas for a long time.

This was the day when Genas Lost three great protectors, but as the old story folded, the new beginning was ready to unfold.
