Deep in the forested outskirts of Isikor, a small village lay hidden, untouched by Zodd's terror. Among the villagers lived a young woman named Elara.
She was a quiet soul, more at ease among the trees and animals than with people. Her love for the wild was unmatched, and she often wandered deep into the forest, communing with the spirits of nature and tending to the creatures that dwelled there.One evening, while returning from her usual stroll, Elara heard the faint whimpering of a creature. Following the sound, she came upon a small wolf pup, barely alive, trapped beneath a fallen tree. Its eyes, a brilliant blue that seemed to glow with an otherworldly light, locked onto hers, pleading for help.
Without hesitation, Elara freed the pup and cradled it in her arms. From that day forward, the little wolf followed her everywhere, never leaving her side. Over time, the bond between them grew stronger, and as the wolf matured, it became clear that this was no ordinary beast.It was during one moonlit night, as Elara sat by the fire, stroking the wolf's fur, that she felt it—a burning sensation on her arm. She gasped, pulling back her sleeve to reveal a mark. The symbol of a wolf, glowing faintly against her skin. She didn't understand what it meant, but deep within her, she knew something had changed.Unbeknownst to her, the wolf had chosen her. She was now marked by the celestial wolf, destined to play a role in the prophecy Neel had foretold.
Months passed, and Elara's life continued in its quiet rhythm.
But everything changed the day she discovered she was with child. Her connection to the wolf had deepened, and her dreams were filled with visions of ancient forests, storms, and a child standing amidst it all, commanding the elements with a wave of his hand.As the months of her pregnancy progressed, Elara felt a growing power within her, an awareness of the forces around her. The wind spoke to her, the trees whispered secrets, and the animals of the forest seemed to understand her as if she were one of them. Her child, still unborn, had begun to influence the world around him.
The wolf, ever watchful, stayed close, guarding both mother and child. It was as if the ancient creature knew that Elara's son was more than just an ordinary child. He was the chosen one, the one destined to bring balance back to Isikor, and the one Zodd feared most.
