Chapter 1 - The Awakening

In A Small Village Of Eldoria

While the birds chirped and the sun cast its rays upon the land

An extraordinary event would soon unfold in a small cottage

Inside a young couple, Elara and Jerek slept 

Completely unaware that something would soon change their lives forever 

To them and many others it was a day like many others

It was a day like many others 

For the next couple seconds that is

As the first rays of sunlight burst into the room through the window

A glow started to emanate from a cradle beside the couples bed

And it was there a miracle would occur

In the cradle a small entity rested 

It's eyes closed tightly with a slight frown as if resisting the worlds light

This is no simple Child for this was Kael, Kael Armin

The reincarnation of hero who walked the land millions of eons ago

A hero gifted with the ability to reshape destiny itself 

As the morning light touched him fragments of a life once lived emerged,

Battles fought,

Some lost,

Some won,

A world saved,

Heroic deeds,

Friends lost to time

some to enemies,

And the darkness that ultimately swallowed him whole

This small body however represented opportunity 

And the chance to forge a new path of life

In the moment a light pulsed from Kael or rather by his new name Kiran

A warmth filled the room

Elara feeling the change in the air 

Or maybe it was the instincts of a mother

She sat up immediately her gaze quickly falling on the cradle a sense of awe filled her as she continued to stare at the ethereal light that surrounded her child

"Jarek!"

"Jarek wake up!"

The man who was clearly a light sleeper considering how quickly he woke up sat up rubbed his eyes and instinctively reached for his sword

"What is it love"

Ellara pointed at the cradle 

The man's hazel eyes turned to meet the cradle and his eyes widened struck by the sight

The light seemingly unbothered by the now awake couple began to intensify casting the enchanting light throughout the small room

Jarek felt an unexplainable connection to this moment as if destiny itself wove a new thread into the fabric of their lives

 In this moment, Kiran's eyes slowly opened revealing depths of wisdom and knowledge that held no place being in a newborn child

Kiran blinked taking in the world around him and it was then that a bond was forged between him and his newfound parents 

A bond that would shape their destiny forever in a way that no one would know how it would end

Suddenly the light that surrounded the room began to pulse rhythmically resonating with a deep power that filled the room 

Ellara felt a wave of warmth as if the very essence of life poured into her as she held Jarek's hand

Jarek was the first to react stuttered as he said "Is....is this....magic?"

Elare shook her head

"No...It feels.....It feels like a blessing, a gift of the very universe"

As the light faded Kiran started to giggle

His small body filled with energy

It was a sound of innocence and potential, resonating with the very essence of life

But of course dear reader of the {Reader's Box} with opportunity comes danger

A chill swept over the room shadows moved in ways they shouldn't naturally

Twisting and curling like smoke

Jarek stood up quickly gripping his sword tightly 

The instincts of a warrior took over him as he looked around him as if looking for something

"ELLARA, STAY BACK!!" 

From the now dark corner of the room

A cloaked figure emerged with a strong sense of malice

Jarek drew his word as his heart race ready to protect his family at any time no matter the cost

"Who are you? What do you want?"

The figure laughed 

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

"FINALLY!!!"

"Ah....The little hero awakens. What a pleasant surprise"

The light that although weakened continued to pulse surrounding the small family of three 

And in response the shadows writhed around the unknown figure as if alive

"Foolish mortals" the figure hissed

"Do you truly believe you can protect him? The child of prophecy has awakened and I am here to claim what is rightfully mine"

"Child of prophecy or not he is our son and I and my husband will not let you have him no matter how powerful you think yourself to be"

"Hahahahahaha"

"I can't tell whether your is dumb or unnecessarily brave either way it won't end well for you if you decide not to pay attention to my warnings even if i don't take the boy someone else will and the fact is neither of you are powerful enough to protect him"

The figure chuckled, a dark amusement lighting its eyes. "You cannot shield him from fate. He will be mine, whether you like it or not!"

In that moment, Jarek lunged forward, his sword aimed at the shadowy figure. 

""OVER MY DEAD BODY"

The figure merely moved slightly and yet it was a speed that left a mirage as Jarek cut nothing but air. "You come at me with such confidence and yet... you hold only this level of skill"

"I'm bored now it's time for you both to accept yo-"

Kiran once more began to glow pushing back the darkness that the figure seemed to embody

With a sudden surge, Kiran's energy intensified, and a wave of light cascaded through the room, washing over the cloaked figure. The darkness writhed and twisted, trying to resist the onslaught, but it was no match for the brilliance of the child.

"IMPOSSIBLE!!!"

The figure screamed as it's figure began to flicker

The baby began to giggle and the light seemed to grow with every giggle illuminating the once dark room

With a final anguished cry the figure dissipated into oblivion

The glow faded leaving a serene atmosphere

"What was that?" Jarek asked as he slowed his breathing and lowered the sword.

"I..."

"I think he protected us" Elara said softly, her eyes wide with wonder and disbelief as she gazed at Kiran

In this moment the young couple came to a realization that Kael their child, their precious child was a sign of hope, a child born with a great destiny meant to lead the lost to their destination.

They were no longer just a happy young couple. They were guardians guardians of the future a future that had only now begun to unfold

"We'll protect him no matter what happens so that he may fulfill his destiny" Jarek vowed with unwavering determination clear in his voice

Elara nodded, her heart swelling with love and resolve. "Together, we will face any darkness that threatens our family."

As the sun climbed higher in the sky, casting its golden rays through the window, a new chapter in their lives began—a chapter filled with uncertainty, challenges, and boundless potential. Little did they know that this was just the beginning of an extraordinary journey that would lead them to confront ancient evils, forge powerful alliances, and ultimately uncover the true essence of what it meant to be reborn.

With the weight of destiny upon their shoulders, Elara and Jarek looked down at their son, their eyes reflecting hope and courage. They knew the path ahead would be fraught with danger, but united as a family, they were ready to embrace the adventure that awaited them.

And thus, in the heart of Eldoria, a new legend began to take shape, one that would echo through the ages—a tale of rebirth, resilience, and the enduring power of love.
