Chapter 6 - The Fall of Lumina

7 years ago, there existed a time when the kingdom flourished under the radiant glow of prosperity and unity. Led by a wise and benevolent king, Lumina stood as a beacon of hope and joy in a world filled with darkness.

Yet, this idyllic existence was shattered when the enigmatic wanderer known as Kurogami set foot upon Lumina's shores. With a cloak of shadows trailing behind him and eyes that seemed to pierce the soul, Kurogami brought with him a darkness that seeped into the very heart of the kingdom.

Initially embraced by the people of Lumina, Kurogami's true intentions remained veiled in mystery as whispers of unsettling events spread throughout the land. Mysterious disappearances, unexplained accidents, and a palpable sense of dread gripped the kingdom, casting a shadow over its once vibrant streets.

As Kurogami's influence grew, so too did the darkness that enveloped Lumina, plunging it into a realm of despair and fear. Despite the valiant efforts of the king and his loyal subjects, they were powerless to halt the inexorable tide of darkness that consumed their once-great kingdom.

In a tragic turn of events, the king fell at the hands of Kurogami, his noble spirit extinguished by the relentless advance of darkness. With their beloved ruler slain and their land in turmoil, the people of Lumina found themselves facing an uncertain future, their hopes dimmed by the oppressive weight of despair.

Now, as Lumina's once-glorious past fades into memory, its people must rally together in the face of adversity, seeking a glimmer of hope amidst the encroaching shadows. For in the darkness, there lies the faintest flicker of light, waiting to be kindled into a flame of redemption and renewal.
