BACKGROUND INFO HERE SKIP IF NOT INTERESTED:

Synopsis:In the mystical land of Eldoria, peace is a delicate balance maintained by the Eldorian Guardians, powerful individuals chosen by the land itself to oversee the harmony between the three kingdoms—Emberton, Sororia, and Lunaris. Surrounding these kingdoms is the Crimson Red Forest, an enigmatic and dangerous place inhabited by deadly creatures that threaten the very existence of Eldoria.To protect the land, each kingdom has formed an elite guard known as the Forest Protectors. These warriors are tasked with safeguarding the forest's natural balance, preventing anyone from venturing too deep, and ensuring that none of the forest's creatures escape to wreak havoc on the kingdoms.Emberton Massacre:Two hundred years ago, during the Emberton Massacre, the kingdom of Emberton was nearly obliterated by an unprecedented attack from the creatures of the Crimson Red Forest. The royal family and much of the population were decimated, leaving only a handful of survivors. This tragedy marked the end of the Primeval Era and the beginning of the Twilight Age, during which the Eldorian Guardians established the Forest Protectors to prevent such a catastrophe from ever happening again.However, dark rumors have persisted since the massacre. Whispers among the people suggest that the creatures of the forest only attack kingdoms that are shrouded in sin. Emberton, once known as the kingdom of the rich, was believed to have fallen due to its decadence and corruption. Though the royal courts of Sororia and Lunaris worked tirelessly to quell these rumors, they still linger in the shadows, casting doubt and fear among the people.Present Day - Twilight Age:In the bustling kingdom of Sororia, the market square is alive with vibrant colors, the scent of fresh produce, and the hum of lively conversation. Eleanor, a 16-year-old girl with a mature and composed demeanor, weaves through the crowd, her sharp eyes taking in the sights. Despite her youth, Eleanor's mind is far older than her years, shaped by the trials and responsibilities she has shouldered throughout her life.Today, Eleanor is preparing for a journey that will change her life. She is about to leave Sororia for the kingdom of Emberton, where she has secured a prestigious position within the royal castle. As she makes her way to the train station, she is accompanied by Leon, a 24-year-old acquaintance who has been a mentor and friend to her. Leon, with his calm and protective nature, has always watched over Eleanor, understanding the burden of her maturity.
