Cerita ini mengikuti perjalanan seorang pemuda bernama WiraCandraTirtha, yang dilahirkan dalam keluarga terhormat dari Sekte Wicaksana, sebuah sekte kuno yang terkenal dengan ajaran keseimbangan antara kekuatan jasmani, spiritual, dan pengobatan. Sejak kecil, Wira dididik oleh gurunya, Empu Tirta, untuk menjadi seorang ahli dalam ilmu bela diri, pengobatan, dan spiritualitas. Wira memiliki bakat luar biasa dalam menggabungkan ilmu bela diri dengan pengobatan menggunakan tumbuhan dan rempah-rempah, serta pengobatan spiritual yang diwariskan oleh para leluhurnya. Namun, meskipun ia memiliki segala yang dibutuhkan untuk menjadi seorang penguasa, Wira merasa ada sesuatu yang lebih besar, sesuatu yang belum terungkap dalam hidupnya. Namun, kedamaian Sekte Wicaksana tiba-tiba hancur ketika sekte musuh, Sekte Langit Jagat, yang dikenal dengan kekuatan gelap dan ambisinya untuk menguasai ilmu mistis, menyerang sekte mereka. Dalam serangan brutal yang merobohkan hampir seluruh sekte, Wira dipaksa untuk melarikan diri demi menyelamatkan sebuah pusaka kuno yang diwariskan dari generasi ke generasi. Pusaka ini diyakini memiliki kekuatan yang dapat mengubah takdir dunia. Namun, pelarian Wira bukanlah perjalanan biasa. Ia tidak hanya harus menghindari pengejaran Sekte Langit Jagat, tetapi juga harus menjelajahi dunia yang luas dan berbahaya untuk mengungkap rahasia terdalam dari dirinya sendiri. Wira akan menemukan bahwa untuk mengalahkan musuh-musuhnya dan mengembalikan kedamaian, ia harus menyatukan kekuatan dari berbagai unsur—termasuk kemampuan pengobatannya, ilmu bela dirinya, dan yang paling penting, kekuatan spiritual yang terkandung dalam pusaka kuno. Perjalanan Wira akan membawanya melintasi berbagai kerajaan, bertemu dengan sekutu dan musuh, serta menantang kekuatan-kekuatan gelap yang mengancam keseimbangan alam semesta. Namun, yang lebih penting lagi, perjalanan ini akan menjadi pencarian untuk menemukan dirinya sendiri, kekuatan sejati dalam dirinya, dan takdir yang menantinya sebagai Sang Akalamis, sang pemilik kekuatan tanpa batas yang mampu mengubah jalannya sejarah.

Kat grumbled a little before reluctantly quieting down, allowing Lucian speak. He continued, his eyes locking onto hers. "The second thing the mark does is tie your fate to the Kelpie's. I injured it badly. stabbed it in the back and it's neck. If it dies because of those wounds, you will die too." She felt a cold shock wash over her. "What? That's insane! Why would I die if it dies?" "The mark it put on you," Lucian explained, his hands never stopping their motion with the pen. "As the Kelpie suffers, so will you. It's dying now, and if it succumbs to its injuries, you'll follow soon after." "Wow, Katherine, way to go. You really outdid yourself," Kat muttered to herself, taking a deep breath. "Seeing a wet horse despite the dry weather wasn't enough for you to think something was wrong." "You saw it wet?" Lucian asked, his eyebrows frowning slightly. "Huh?... Yeah, is something wrong with that?" Kat asked, wondering why the horse being wet was more important to him at the moment than her dying. Lucian didn't say anything but just stared at the girl in front of him. 'There is something more to her, I just can't tell what it is' he thought. To further confirm his suspicion, he moved closer to Kat, closing the distance between them. He reached for the shoulder of her dress and pulled it down. The sudden action startled Kat. She exclaimed, "What do you think you are doing, pervert? Get away from me!" She tried hitting him, but she barely had the strength to sit up, let alone push him away. Lucain paused, staring at her bare shoulder. Kat followed his gaze and gasped. "What is that?" she asked, her voice trembling. On her shoulder was a strange mark, like a tattoo of a hoof print with foreign writing within it. Lucain hummed thoughtfully, his expression still impassive. 'As I thought, she shouldn't be able to see it, but she can. That's unusual for a human.' Kat frantically tried to wipe the mark off. "Why won't it come off?" "That's the Kelpie's mark," He pointed out, his tone remained indifferent. Panic surged through Kat. She hadn't just narrowly escaped death; it was now chasing her, bound to her by an invisible tether. "Is there any way to break the bond...mark whatever it is? I don't want to die," she asked desperately, her eyes searching Lucian's for any sign of hope. Lucian's expression stayed the same. "I don't intend to let you die so soon," he said. "We can replace the Kelpie's bond with another bond." Kat clung to this glimmer of hope. "How do we do that?" she asked, leaning forward, eager for a solution. "It requires a new bond, a stronger one that can override the Kelpie's," Lucian explained, his demeanor calm and composed. Before she could ask what he meant, Lucian reached out and gently pecked her on the forehead. Kat froze, completely caught off guard by the unexpected action. The brief contact sent a jolt through her, and she barely had time to react before he pulled her into a gentle embrace, careful not to hurt her already pained body. Her mind raced, trying to process the sudden shift from their conversation to this intimate moment. The warmth of his embrace contrasted sharply with the cold fear that had gripped her moments before. She caught the scent of rosewood and felt his firm body against hers, making her heart skip a beat. "What are you doing?" she whispered, her voice shaky. Kat's heart pounded in her chest. She felt Lucian's face bury itself in the crook of her neck, his breath warm against her skin. His grip on her waist tightened slightly. She winced as she felt a sharp pain. Lucian's fangs sank into her neck, causing her to gasp and grip his shoulder, her fingers digging into his shoulder.... **** disclaimer: cover not mine.
