In a forgotten time, where history had fallen asleep. There stood Velhihem!
A kingdom, of great king's, amazing people, strong warriors, wizards and witches. But the most respected of all when it comes to occupation after the king, is an architect.
Velhihem was a very beautiful Kingdom, due to the fact that they had very innovative technology more useful to architect.
Velhihem wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. It had a population of one hundred and seventy nine thousand people.
Because of the way the kingdom prospers so much, it caught the eyes of many, both good and evil.
And so, many good people thought of finding a way into the Kingdom and live a beautiful peaceful life there.
While others(evil ones), thought of challenging Velhihem and taking the kingdom for themselves. But every time, they failed, allowing Velhihem to sieze their land and kingdoms everytime they lost the battle.
Some even banded together to create a seven million soldier army to fight against Velhihem, with only around forty thousand soldiers.
The battle was long and arduous, it was bloody, and it seemed that all of Velhihem's effort would now soon be in vain, for half of their army had already been cut off by hundreds of swords.
But even still, with all the odds against them, as it seems the gods were on their opponents side, Velhihem won!
They won the battle, but with only eight soldiers left, and a dead king.
A few days later, Velhihem selected one of the eight soldiers as the new king. One that would command the army, and one that would lead the Kingdom into a more fruitions era.
A few more years later, a witch that commanded the forces of the underworld, one that reeked of death and destruction, one that looked like she was made to create chaos onto the world, had her eye on Velhihem.
And this time, with the way their last battle made them weak, and they hadn't recovered from it. They were now forced to fight someone with incredibly strong magic.
And unlike other times, Velhihem lost. They lost so badly, that the king became mad and ran away, never to be seen nor heard from again.
As the witch sat on the throne of Velhihem, strife, chaos, and pain, covered the land, bringing it into an era of darkness and enslavement, Wich lasted for twenty years, as a group of powerful people in Velhihem decided that they could no longer stay and watch this wretched sight, so they banded together and we're finally able to defeat the witch, but just like all battles, there would always be casualties on both sides. And there was, of the nine that decided to stop the witch, only one was left. And with only a small ounce of strength left in her, she cursed the kingdom.
In two years, all the residents of Velhihem would die, slowly. And with that, she died.
And so, for being one of the great ones that saved their kingdom, they made him king!
And he tried his best to break the curse, he asked other wizards, witches, mysterious creatures, and so much magical beign. But it was all in vain, no one could break the witches dying curse. And day by day, one or two people would die.
Even those who weren't in the kingdom at the moment of the curse died because they were born in the land of Velhihem.
It was a time of strife, grief, pain and chaos. Velhihem was dying, and there was nothing anyone could do. Everything was pointless.
*****
At the entrance of Velhihem, the gate stood tall, as the moonlight shone down onto it, making its metallic parts shimmer with brilliance.
Suddenly, two hooded figures appeared out of nowhere, it was like they came out of the void. They stared at the gates of Velhihem with wonder.
" If the gate is already so beautiful, what do you think the actual kingdom would Look like, brother?" One of the hooded figures said, as he took off his hood.
He had a complete black hair, it looked like the night was caged inside of those strands of hair. His eyes were purple like a chaotic wave was hidden inside. He looked young, like that of a middle aged man, but the air he exuded was like he had seen millions of years, and his wiseness was incredibly vast. Like that of a wide ocean.
" Aibeck, their gate is not the reason for us coming here, neither is it the beauty of a mortal kingdom. I need to sleep, it's been three thousand years since we even sat down. Let's just rest in this kingdom for a few days." The other hooded figure said, as he walked towards the gate. As he put his hands on the gate, it suddenly began to vibrate violently, until the hooded figure's hand went through the gate, followed by the rest of his body.
" Oh Elidi, you and your criticism is getting really annoying," The figure said, as he put back on his hood, and his body got sucked into the dark ground of the night, and he dissapeared from the spot.
Inside the kingdom, the whole place was incredibly silent, so much so that not a soul could be seen walking on the vast streets of Velhihem.
Suddenly, two figures appeared, they were the same two figures that were outside the kingdom a minute ago.
" Well, this is suprising, what kind of kingdom would have zero amount of people on the streets, even at night?" Aibeck said with a questioning gaze.
" It is strange, but let's just walk, probably the kingdom has a great even going on at the moment, and if possible let's try to find an inn." Elidi said, as he took off his hood.
He had white hair, with some strips of gold in it. His eyes were golden, like that of a burning sun. His skin was as bright as the day, for it exuded brilliance. Just like Aibeck, he exuded an air of wisdom, but this time, it felt more vast than Aibeck.
" We're primordials, why do we have to walk?" Aibeck said with a displeased look.
" Because we are now inside a kingdom with thousands of people." Elidi said with an expressionless look.
Aibeck still with his displeased look, just decided to keep quiet, but then a weird look appeared on his face," Elidi, do you sense that pugent smell?"
" Yes, but it's not a smell, it just an above average curse. It's not something that we can't deal with. It's pretty much easy to break. But I'm not in the mood to use any magic at the moment," Elidi said, as he shrugged his shoulders and began walking.
" Well, I guess you're right," Aibeck said, as he also began walking.
