Chapter 1: The Unexpected Prophecy.  

The village of Eldermist lay nestled beneath a tranquil sky, its cobblestone streets winding like paths of memory through clusters of cottages and shops. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the world in hues of gold and amber, a young man named Aric found himself engrossed in the ancient pages of a time within his cozy room.
