Chapter 1 — The Awakening 🌑✨
The village of Eldermoor slept under a sky woven with stars 🌌, silent but for the whispers of the wind through ancient trees 🌲. Kaelen Ardent lay restless beneath his worn blanket, unaware that tonight, everything would change.
A flicker of light 🔥 stirred deep within his chest — a pulse unlike any heartbeat he had known. It pulsed with raw energy, ancient and untamed, clawing its way to the surface. His breath hitched. His vision blurred. The world seemed to tilt.
Outside, shadows stretched longer 🌒. The air grew heavy, thick with anticipation.
A sudden crash shattered the quiet — the gates of Eldermoor were under attack ⚔️🔥.
Kaelen bolted upright, heart pounding like thunder ⚡. His hand instinctively brushed a pendant hidden beneath his tunic — a simple stone, warm against his skin, humming with a strange resonance 🎶.
The village alarm cried out 📢. Flames licked the horizon 🌄.
This was no ordinary night.
Kaelen's journey had begun. 🛤️
