At first, I had no idea that my life would change in such a profound way. I am Lily, Gareth's best friend Elia, and this is our story. A journey that has taken us to places we never imagined, encounters we never expected, and discoveries that changed everything we thought we knew. Since leaving our kingdom, Elia and I have found ourselves in situations that have challenged everything we believed in and tested our courage in ways we had never experienced before. Our search for the truth has taken us through portals that seemed to come straight out of fairy tales, cities full of mystery, and encounters with people who carry stories that seem to come from another time. It all started when Elia suddenly disappeared, and I knew I had to find her. She was always the type to love an adventure, but this time, something felt different. I knew that wherever she was, she was trying to figure out something about her past and what it all really meant. Along the way, we met allies who became essential to us. Alfie, a young blacksmith with a heart full of determination, ended up involved in a plot that mixed past and future. Camila, an explorer full of curiosity, always ready to face the unknown. And I, always by Elia's side, ready to face any challenge that came my way. And so, in this adventure full of twists and turns, we discovered that life can be full of surprises, challenges and moments that make us rethink everything. And in the end, what really matters is having people by our side that we can trust, no matter what happens. Wielding the flaming sword of his ancestors, the young paladin set out in an aftermath of rage and unbreakable determination, vowing not to cease his journey until Elia was freed from the shadows that had captured her. His steps then led him to the cursed gates of NightGlen, the mirrored city where Antracus had erected his fortress of darkness. Infiltrating through dark alleys and haunted alleys, Elius entered the forbidden realm of shadows, defying the vile creatures that guarded the walls of his own evil. However, his impetuosity did not go unnoticed, and soon the Dark Lord himself sent his most fearsome creature, the Shadowspawn, to capture the daring warrior, whether alive or dead. In a desperate escape from the underworld, Elius ran towards the ruins of an ancient temple, pleading with the arcane gods for protection and allies for his noble crusade. For he knew that, alone, he would never be a match for the legions of Antracus - although his determination burned as brightly as the blade of fire he wielded. "Come to me, valiant champions and mages of pure spirit!", shouted the young man to the starry heavens. "Join this warrior on his journey for justice and freedom! For the time has come to break the shackles of darkness and bring back light to these blessed lands!" And so, under the watchful eye of the silver moon, Elius waited for those who would heed his call to heroism, ready to gather a brotherhood of champions and begin the greatest battle of his life. For the day had come to challenge Antracus himself and free his beloved mother from the clutches of evil, no matter how high the cost to be paid.
