Chapter 1 : Flames of tales

After so many years of the world being swallowed in the darkness, the world at last found peace and harmony. The dragon, a powerful evil, often regarded as a demon deity, was trapped in a surreal dungeon known as the prison world for hundreds of years in order to stop his dark and dominating reign over the universe. Soon, he found a way to break out of the prison world through the gateway after an unpredictable celestial event called the Shadow Fall took place, where by the earth's darkness collided with the moon, totally overwhelming the moon thereby creating a powerful eclipse that disrupted the magical barrier shrouding the path of the gateway. After being trapped for so many years inside the prison world, he finally regained his freedom, although the aftermath/consequential effect was that he wasn't as powerful as before. His shadow servants had to carry out his evil bidding while he regained his power gradually through the death of his victims. Aside from the dragon, there were powerful elite warriors who long existed and strong rivals of the dragon. They were called members of the chosen. The members of the chosen gained their power from the unknown. The unknown was a parallel dimension of infinite ♾️ power, as unmeasurable as the verses itself. Members of the chosen were connected to the unknown and drew from its immense power. The dragon also gained his powers from this parallel dimension and misused it to the point of getting corrupted. A member of the chosen can access one of the three touch of power. The first touch of power is the elemental talent,the second touch of power is dream walking, and the third touch of power is the shadow curse. Members of the chosen, able to access the first touch of power are called summoners because they are able to summon any of the five elemental forces of nature (fire,water,wind,earth, and spirit). Members of the chosen, able to access the second touch of power, are called dream walkers. They have the ability to transverse the dream world known as aethelgard and manipulate the fabric of reality. Members of the chosen, able to access the third touch of power, are called shadowsouled. They can bend dark magic to their will. The obsidian palace was the abode of the chosen. The members of the chosen were known for their dark coloured warrior robe. There are three known calibres in the obsidian palace. The feedlers being the lowest are those who serve the purpose of getting information for the obsidian palace. In the middle are the sword artists, which are those who are trained in swordsmanship and warfare for both offence and defence. Then, the highest calibre in the obsidian palace is the horsemen, which are seven revered persons regarded as outstanding and oldest members of the obsidian palace as well as powerful figures. The horsemen serve the purpose of finding the last blood of zerr andor. Zerr Andor was a prodigy and the man who sacrificed himself to trap the dragon inside the prison world. A prodigy, like zerr andor, is a chosen who lacks the ability to access the three touch of power but possesses the 'spark', the power that stems from the soul considered as the unsullied true light that drives away darkness.
