Chapter 24 - Chapter 2 — The Girl of the Eclipse

The eclipse lasted only a few minutes.

But those few minutes changed the world.

In a distant kingdom, a newborn child opened her eyes for the first time.

The room was silent.

Outside, the moon was completely covered by darkness.

Then—

BOOM!

A wave of silver light passed across the sky.

The newborn's eyes suddenly opened.

One eye was silver.

The other was violet.

The royal mage standing nearby froze.

"Your Majesty…"

The king looked at his daughter.

"What happened?"

The mage slowly stepped backward.

"This child… isn't carrying ordinary magic."

The queen held the baby closer.

"What do you mean?"

The mage stared at the strange symbol that had appeared on the baby's hand.

A circle divided between light and darkness.

The symbol of Balance.

The mage whispered,

"Impossible…"

At that exact moment, the baby smiled.

And somewhere far away, Seliora felt the same magical presence.

She looked toward the eastern sky.

"Who are you?"

The answer came as a whisper in the wind.

"Aria."

Ten Years Later

Aria was now ten years old.

She lived inside the royal castle, but she had never felt like an ordinary princess.

Whenever she became emotional, strange things happened.

Flowers bloomed in winter.

Candles turned into blue flames.

And sometimes…

She could hear voices coming from the stars.

One night, Aria stood beside her bedroom window.

"Why do I keep seeing the same man in my dreams?"

She closed her eyes.

A silver-haired young man appeared in her mind.

He stood beneath a silver moon.

He looked sad.

But strangely familiar.

Aria reached toward him.

"Who are you?"

The man slowly turned.

Before he could answer—

CRACK!

The dream shattered.

Aria woke up suddenly.

The symbol on her hand was glowing.

Then a voice whispered:

"Find the woman who remembers the Fallen God."

Aria stared into the darkness.

"Who is the Fallen God?"

Outside the castle, seven stars suddenly disappeared from the sky.

And far away in Breya…

Seliora opened her eyes.

She already knew.

Someone had awakened.

Someone connected to Eryndor.

And this time, the mystery would not remain hidden.

The journey of the Eclipse Girl had begun.
