Chapter 2 - Azrael and Nevaeh

A very powerful mage resides in Sombrafel. His name is Azrael, and he always wears a black hooded robe. Since childhood, he has trained both his hand-to-hand combat skills and his magical powers. The kingdom of Sombrafel exists in the same domain as Aethoria, but in different planes of existence.

Nevaeh, on the other hand, resides in Aethoria. She was very spoiled as a child and did not train enough, so she is considered a pampered citizen within the knight kingdom. Her dream is to one day reach the hierarchy of the Rising Suns. She was cared for by the people of the village, who protected her after her parents died in battle.

In her childhood, Nevaeh met Azrael, and together they became the best of friends. However, one day, the two kingdoms went to war, separating them. Now, Azrael no longer considers her his friend, to prevent her from being harmed.

Nevaeh: "Azrael! Wherever you are, I swear I will find you again and we will be together."

Azrael: "Nevaeh, we must separate. Stay away from me. Don't you see that the knights of your kingdom have killed my friends? You're too weak… come find me when you're stronger."

Azrael's words pierced Nevaeh's heart like a stake, but she was not willing to give up.

She swore to reunite with him and convince him to live in her kingdom, Aethoria. Nevaeh was convinced that a greater force was manipulating Azrael to win all the conflicts on his own. Meanwhile, the arcane gods watched this story with interest, as it had been centuries since they had seen something like it.

One night, Azrael felt disturbed. He knew of the presence of enemies through his omniscience, so he went for a walk in the forest. He sensed an energy different from what resided in his kingdom. When he reached the source of this strange energy, he encountered two giants and 100 low-ranking knights of the Light infiltrating the kingdom of Sombrafel.

Azrael: "What are you doing in this kingdom? Do you want to die?"

Commander of the knights: "You? Kill us? Don't make us laugh, you're at a huge disadvantage, so—"

Before he could finish speaking, Azrael changed the narrative, causing them to kill each other.

Azrael is ruthless and seeks only revenge against the Kingdom of Light, so he mercilessly kills anyone who bothers him or ventures into the kingdom of Sombrafel.

Azrael: "Ugh, this scene is disgusting. Better leave this place. Tsk… what a hassle."

On the other hand, Nevaeh has always been peaceful with her opponents, and that never worked for her. There was always another knight who had to save her. The king (the god of the kingdom), observing this behavior, decided to force her to train.
