Elderwoods

In a world where magic is in abundance and heavily relied upon, elves find they are losing their place. Mages being born into an elvish family is rare enough to leave the race in decline, leaving them little choice to retreat back to their ancestral homes in the woods of the world. Cyran Arthelius is a relatively young elf who grew up on his fathers stories as an adventurer and dreams of having adventures of his own one day. However, tragedy forces him upon his adventure far before he is ready and he will soon realise that there is more at stake than he first realises. This is going to be the first novel I have ever written so I will do my utmost to make it as gripping a read as possible! This will not be a fairy tale like story! There will be violence, deception, love and a character who goes through his own trials and battles his own demons.

Elara, a centuries-old wood elf, has spent most of her life in isolation, tending to the ancient forests of her homeland and studying every book and tome ever written. She shuns the company of humans, viewing them as fleeting and reckless beings. But her peaceful existence is shattered when she begins to notice troubling changes in the natural world - the birds no longer sing as they once did, her herbs wither, and the once-vibrant trees stand lifeless under a darkened sky. Kenric, a humble human farmer from a distant village, has watched his family and community suffer under a creeping blight that threatens to consume all life. Desperate and armed with stories of an elusive wood elf said to hold unmatched wisdom, he sets out on a perilous journey to find her, believing she may hold the key to stopping the blight. When Kenric stumbles upon Elara's secluded home, he is met with suspicion and disdain. Reluctant to trust a human, Elara initially refuses his request for help. But when she learns the blight has spread far beyond her own borders, she realizes that this threat is larger than her past grievances with humankind. Bound by a shared urgency, the unlikely duo sets out on a journey to uncover the cause of the blight and save the world. The Elderwood Enigma is a tale of unlikely friendship, resilience, and the enduring bond between humanity and nature. As two vastly different souls embark on a journey to save their world, they discover that even the deepest wounds can heal - and that hope can grow in the unlikeliest of places.

In the Everspring Kingdom of Eldoria lies Verdant Hollow, a village detached from time and modernization. Here, childhood friends Theo Elderwood and Aria Delacroix, both respected scientists, make their home.

It said within it is sealed the Dark One, the destroyer of the world, trapped there by the first Keeper's sacrifice Theo and Aria, once skeptics of such tales, find themselves drawn into an unexpected journey of discovery. Guided by a wise Sage, the voices of the forest, and its guardians, they embark on a mission to avert a prophesied catastrophe involving Eldoria's downfall and the resurgence of Malgarn, the dark force. In this quest, they're destined to be the final defenders of a forgotten magic. As they uncover more about their legacy, they discover their elemental affinity powers. Assisted by Yavanna, the spirit of life, they encounter several foes, minions of the evil triumvirate: Zalgaroth, Necronus, and Malaxar.

The path ahead is filled with the Luminary Trials, six challenges overseen by Eldoria's primordial creators. Amid these trials, Theo and Aria's blossoming love could either be their strength or their downfall.

When the first light illuminated the world, all of its marvels unveiled. It is when the primordial being awoke from his slumber. The blinding light, it is soothing, it is permeating.. the blanc witch received the breathe of life from it. When he woke up, it felt like he has a very hard mission to fulfill. Something that urges him to live. A formless entity come before him, a light that felt nostalgic, like it was not his first time meeting it. "Child, I want you to live for the sake of this world." it uttered in a language that seems like any creature can comprehend. And then the witch stood erect as the light ordered him, the trunk of the elderwood where he was laid for a long time collapsed. The light gathered the fragments of the wood created a staff, "Take this my child.. it is rightfully yours.." And so as he received the gift, the light gradually faded. Just like a part of his body, he naturally harnessed the magicks of his staff to clad himself and started his almost eternal wandering.
