The Darkness Takes Over

Shadows Over Caldera

In a realm teetering on the edge of annihilation, where ancient guardians slumber and the echoes of a forgotten age resonate, Kael Renard and Lira Faelith must navigate a world steeped in darkness and fractured by war. Caldera, once a land of harmony, now stands divided, its people at the mercy of the tyrannical Warlord and his Black Suns—a shadowy force bent on consuming all light. When Kael discovers the shard of a powerful artifact tied to the mythical Vault of Aegis, he and Lira embark on a perilous journey to restore the Heart of the Vault, the last beacon of hope for their dying world. Together with an unlikely band of allies—a fierce huntress, a steadfast warrior, and a mage burdened by his own secrets—they face relentless enemies, treacherous landscapes, and the unyielding weight of destiny. As the shard’s power grows, so does Kael's connection to the ancient forces that once protected Caldera. But power comes with a cost, and shadows lurk not only in the enemy’s ranks but also within Kael himself. With each battle, the line between light and shadow blurs, forcing him to confront questions of loyalty, sacrifice, and the true nature of heroism. Shadows Over Caldera is a sweeping tale of courage and resilience, where bonds are tested, and the fate of a divided world hangs by a thread. Will Kael and his companions succeed in rekindling the light of the Vault, or will they fall, consumed by the very darkness they seek to destroy? A story of high stakes, breathtaking battles, and the enduring power of hope, this epic fantasy promises to immerse readers in a world where light and shadow collide in an unforgettable struggle for survival.

ENTWINED DARKNESS

Does the supernatural world exist? Are Vampires real? or is it a myth? a legend? or an imagination? Over 7000 years ago, Vampires ruled the world and humans. They were seen as gods sent to devour mankind and rid them of their freedom. Humans were nothing but food and a play thing to them. This went on for years, with the humans population decimating rapidly. It continued like this, until, King Henry of Slovakia came into power. Wanting peace in his reign, he decided to come into an agreement with the rulers of the Vampires. The treaty was drawn; the pact was forged and it became a law all kings after him were to abide by. After every 100 years, on the day of the blood moon, princesses born to the Slovakian kingdom would be given to the Vampires prince to be his bride. Although this sounded as a very kind offer to the humans, only the princesses given out understood the true meaning of the pact. It was a death sentence. Once they sign the scroll, their fates are sealed and death is inevitable. Being a vampire bride is never a bed of roses for them because it means that they'd be preys to the Vampires, either as food or slaves and moreover, they won't be recognised as brides of the prince since they are humans, a different creature. After civilization kicked in, the pact was deactivated and the humans forgot about it. Only top officials knew but the mass didn't. To calm raging vampires, the government along with some royals would take a few girls and hand them over as sacrifice. But a new leader of the Vampires arose, a more cold one who wouldn't take just 'a few girls'. He wants his bride and would stop at nothing to get her, if it means destroying the human population. ___________________________________ Bella Rodriguez, an aspiring young lady who at the age of 17 became the bread winner of her family after her parents demise.
