Prologue: A Prophecy
"On the night when the moon turns red, a bloodshed will take place—one that will change the fate of the kingdoms forever."
These were the words spoken by an ancient Oracle right after the death of King Zain. No one paid much attention then, but today, the stars of the five kingdoms were shifting.
Velmora – A Betrayal
It was night. Hana knelt in her temple, praying with closed eyes. The moon had turned red tonight.
Her little brother, Arin, approached her with innocent curiosity. "Sister, people are saying something terrible will happen tonight."
Hana held his hand, but a strange uneasiness gripped her heart.
Just then, a soldier rushed in, his breath uneven.
"The two princes of King Darius have fought each other! And… one is dead!"
Hana's eyes widened in shock. A betrayal had unfolded in the royal palace of Velmora.
One son lived, one had perished. But this was politics—what was visible was not always the truth.
Dravania – The Wandering of a Bastard Bloodline
Prince V moved through the dim corridors of the palace. He bore the title of 'Prince,' yet no crown adorned his head.
His father, King Aldric, had always treated him like a mere servant.
Tonight, he wouldn't just stand by and watch his royal brother's coronation—he would witness it up close.
Through a high balcony, he saw the true heir seated on a magnificent throne, and before him, the kingdom of Dravania bowed.
A fire ignited within V. One day, all of this would be his. Even if he had to spill blood to claim it.
The Forest – Arena's Secret
A lone woman ran through the dark forest, clutching an old parchment—one that held the map to a deadly place.
Behind her, three soldiers pursued her with drawn swords.
She was Arena.
Her breath was heavy, her steps unsteady. If this parchment fell into the wrong hands, The Sword of Blood would be lost forever.
One of the soldiers lunged forward, driving his sword into her chest!
Arena fell to the ground. Blood, soil, and the red moon above blurred in her vision.
But to the soldier's shock—she started laughing.
"You fools… what I gave you was never the real map."
The soldier's face paled.
If that parchment was fake… where was the real one?
Eldoria – The Battle for the Throne
In the royal palace of Eldoria, an unseen war was being fought.
King Magnus's younger brother had long desired the throne.
And tonight, a betrayal took place—the King's most trusted minister drove a dagger into his back.
That night, the fate of Eldoria was rewritten.
Cliffhanger: Khael – A Sign of Return
No one knew that Zain's youngest son, Khael, was still alive.
But that very night, in the depths of an old city, a lone figure emerged from a hidden passage.
His eyes burned with purpose.
And on his hand was a mark—a scar shaped like a sword.
Khael was returning.
Velmora – The Heir to the Sword?
A grand assembly was called in Velmora.
One of King Darius's sons was dead, but that was not the real matter of concern—
"Is Zain's son still alive?"
A spy stepped forward, hesitantly lowering his hood.
"I saw a man… on his hand was a mark… the mark of a sword."
A tense silence filled the court.
King Darius leaned forward on his throne. "It could be just a rumor."
But a minister murmured, "And if it's not?"
A single thought echoed through Velmora's grand halls—the true heir to the sword might still live.
Eldoria – The Shadow of Betrayal
King Magnus was dead. His younger brother had seized the throne.
But even as he sat upon it, whispers of a new threat filled the air.
"If Zain's son is alive, he will return for his sword."
The new King's fingers tightened around the royal seal.
"If he returns, we will take his head—with his own blade."
That night, orders were sent to every corner of Eldoria—Find Khael. Kill him on sight.
Zephyria – Whispers in the Palace
King Octavius sat in his crystal palace, surrounded by his three wives. His three sons stood before him, unease in their eyes.
"If the sword is in his possession, it is bad news for us," one son muttered.
Octavius studied his children with a knowing gaze before smirking.
"Does anyone know if he truly has it?"
Silence.
A mere rumor—that's all it was.
The King leaned back. "Forget the small talk. I want to see his corpse before I believe he's dead."
Dravania – V's Discovery
Prince V crouched in a hidden chamber beneath the city. A cloaked informant sat before him, bringing dark news.
"He is alive," the informant whispered.
V's fingers curled into a tight fist.
"Khael," he uttered.
If that man was truly alive, then it meant only one thing—someone had faked his death.
V stared at the darkened scar on his own hand. He, too, was an heir—yet no crown rested on his head.
Until now, his fight had been against his own kingdom.
But tonight, a new enemy had awakened within him—Zain's living helibra
The Forest – Khael's Secret
By the edge of a quiet river, a lone figure washed his hands.
Etched into his skin was a deep, ancient scar—the mark of a sword.
He gazed at his reflection in the water, as if reading a prophecy written on his own body.
The forest around him was silent. No one could see him…
Or perhaps—someone was watching?
A bird took flight from the trees, and with it, a faint whisper carried through the air.
"Someone is searching for him."
