ELDORIA
ELDORIA 1'S

On the edge of the legendary forbidden forest, a dim sunlight pierced through the tall trees. A little elf named Lirael stood among the wildflowers, his eyes full of curiosity. Her long, silver-colored hair was gently draped by the gust of wind. He was enchanted by the aura of mystery emanating from within the forbidden forest.

Suddenly, a shadow emerged from behind the trees. An adult elf named Thalion, with a green leaf attire and thoughtful gaze, stepped outside. "Lirael, honey. What are you doing here?"

Lirael turned his head and smiled shyly, "I just want to know what is inside the forbidden forest, Thalion. It all sounds so interesting."

Thalion approached Lirael and embraced him gently. "This forest is full of secrets and dangers, Lirael. That's why we're urged not to approach him."

Lirael nodded in understanding, but his eyes were still twinkling. "But what makes this forest so different? Why can't we go in?"

Thalion smiled, "The story of our ancestors tells us that this forest is a refuge for mystical beings and natural forces that are difficult to understand. We don't know what we might encounter there, and we have to respect the limits that have been set."

Lirael nodded, understanding the message delivered by Thalion. However, his eyes still glanced into the forest with longing. "Have you ever been in the woods, Thalion?"

Thalion nodded, his face full of memories. "When I was young and full of curiosity like you, I once stepped into this forest. I felt miraculous and amazed by its beauty, but also felt that I was being watched by a greater presence. It got me back to the border and obeying this ban."

Lirael looked at Thalion in admiration, "Are you scared?"

Thalion smiled gently, "No, dear. I feel respect and amazement towards this forest. It was a place filled with mysteries and incredible power."

Lirael finally took his eyes off the forest,feeling wiser after hearing the story from Thalion, the two of them walked back towards the elven settlement with loving steps and chatted about the adventures and secrets that might await in the future.

Inside the magnificent palace, King Aldric stood by the tall window with a blank look. The night wind whispered softly, but his heart was filled with unspoken restlessness. The dark sky seemed to reflect the darkness that permeated his heart.

The eyes of King Aldric were focused on the flickering of the stars in the sky. However, as if something was amiss, he felt as if the stars were sending out dark messages that could only be captured by him. King Aldric clasped tightly onto the window frame, trying to dispel the feeling that was pressing down on his chest.

He felt an unfavorable tremor, threatening the foundation his ancestors had built. A cold touch of the night wind struck his face, King Aldric closed his eyes to dispel the bad feeling that was in his heart.

At that moment, the door of the room slowly opened, and Prime Minister Kael entered the room with cautious steps.

"With your permission, Your Majesty," Kael said in a soft voice, honoring the King's presence.

The Prime Minister walked up to the window, looking at the same sky as what the King saw. "Is everything okay, Your Majesty?"

The king shook his head slowly, "I feel like something is haunting my mind. It was as if the sound of the wind carried a message I could not hear, but felt it so strongly."

Kael pondered for a moment, trying to understand the King's feelings. "Is this related to our kingdom?"

King Aldric stared far away, "Yes, Kael.I have a bad feeling, that we will face a great battle that will shake our kingdom. But the details, I can't figure it out."

The Prime Minister nodded in understanding, "If you allow it, Your Majesty, I would like to speak with the generals and commanders of the troops. Maybe they have information that can help us prepare."

The king nodded in agreement, "Do it, Kael.I entrust this to you. We have to make sure that this kingdom is ready to face all possibilities."

Kael replied firmly, "I'll make a move soon. We will prepare the defense and mobilize the troops wisely."

The king smiled gently, "Thank you, Kael. You've always been my crutch in hard times."

The Prime Minister smiled back, "We're going through this together, Your Majesty. Our union is the greatest power of this kingdom."

With looks full of confidence, the King and the Prime Minister looked at each other, showing their determination to face a future full of uncertainty. Amid a haunting bad premonition, the two of them are determined to keep the kingdom's wholeness and security with everything they have.

The night sky was dark and heavy, and the wind blew with an inexplicable strange feeling. The once green shady was now withered, and the forest beasts roamed around with unusual uneasiness. The powerful protective power began to weaken, like being sucked in by a voracious entity.

The protective layer grew thinner, like a cloth torn apart by giant fangs. The darkness crept out slowly, as if it felt a newfound freedom. The dim light that once existed in the forest began to dim, replaced by a gripping darkness.

He has returned.A terrible battle is coming.

Battles that will take lives and shed a lot of blood.Battle that has happened hundreds of years ago will happen again.
