Aurora is a seer and a powerful witch who has yet to aknowledge her powers, only Artemis knows of it. Lucian Mithandir is in exile recruiting an army to fight Prince Castellan of house Taelin for the throne of Prophis. Artemis wants no parts of this war, but he is very aware whoever wins the war will later turn to Maldonia. Artemis has no clue that a bigger war is coming which will set out kingdoms on fire, Aurora has seen it in her dreams and it's for the Sweet Waters Throne in Maldonia. The end is uncertain but the ways are clearer, who will sit on the throne after the war to end all wars. The Bastard who's been denied his true claim to the Sweet Waters throne with the mighties fleet in the world and King Artemis of Maldonia who has Aurora and dragons breathing fire. ~ Excerpt Scene ~ "Are you ready? A dragon is not a horse my love" Aurora expressed her concerns. "The dragons are ready to be claimed, Your Grace. I think it’s the perfect time for Artodo to take the skies and be claimed. He and the King have great relationship. He just needs to understand the words that’s all. "Torgo explained while looking at both Aurora and Artemis. "I understand the words." Said Artemis. "Incendio for fire and Valar for him to fly. I know some Low Moor too." It seemed Aurora wasn’t easily convinced, "Knowing the language of our ancestors doesn’t mean you can hang on to the dragon and take to the skies, especially since you are not just practicing. You are taking the dragon to the Mines, in clear daylight." "Exactly, that is the only way we can silence Lord Leoric. I cannot let him take advantage of my sister, I have to try…" Visera interrupted. "He’s ready, I can see it in his eyes." She said with a smirk. Aurora ordered Torgo. "Bring him outside," in Low Moor. Torgo nodded and walked inside the darkened cave with a fire torch. All five dragons were inside the cave perfectly chained. He went after Artodo, the biggest of them all. The black beast, standing at forty feet from head to tail with a wingspan of twenty feet. A terrifying beast to even stare at. Artemis took two deep breaths. "According to my ancestors history, the youngest dragon rider to ever took the skies was ten years old. You’ll be fine." Aurora teased Artemis after she noticed how nervous he was. The dragon keepers placed a saddle on Artodo’s back and two strong handles made of iron and wood for Artemis to hang on to. Then, finally Aurora walked to Artodo — the black beast. She pulled in Artemis and they both touched the dragon’s right eye, soothing him before the take off. "This is your rider now Artodo, you are to obey him from this day forward to the last, as your mother commands." Aurora said this is Low Moor while the dragon hissed slowly. The dragon hissed and Aurora took it a sign that Artodo understood him. She took a step back and let Artemis take over. These two weren’t strangers to one another. Artemis’s touch wasn’t strange to Artodo and he silently lowered his left wingspan for Artemis to climb up. Carefully and slowly, Artemis mounted the black beast. It was no secret that he was scared. When he was on top of the dragon, Artemis smiled looking down and he suddenly exclaimed. "You all look like tiny bees from up here!" Aurora, Visera, Torgo and the dragon keepers laughed. Aurora walked to him and they looked at each other. Their dream finally came true; "Promise me, you’ll come back alive." Said Aurora. "I promise." "And that you will not burn the Mines to the ground. If she disagrees with you, perhaps it’s time to let her go." This was what Artemis truly needed to hear so he may stop his obsession with saving his sister. When he was ready, he shouted to Artodo. "Valar Artodo," and right there the dragon’s feet pounded the ground heavy as it prepared for takeoff.

Endless Dusk

Agness always felt like something wasn’t right with her life. Everything seemed normal on the outside—she went to school, had friends, and lived with her parents, who were both scientists. But deep down, she felt different, like she didn’t belong. Then, things started to change in ways she couldn’t explain. It began with strange dreams. Every night, she saw a man with glowing eyes standing in the shadows, watching her. The dreams felt so real that they scared her. Soon, her body began to change too. Agness noticed her senses were sharper than before. She could hear things from far away, smell things no one else noticed, and see details others missed. She even felt stronger and faster, like her body was becoming something else. At first, she thought it was just stress or being tired, but the changes didn’t stop. It wasn’t normal, and it made her feel even more out of place. Her parents started acting weird, too. They became more protective and secretive, whispering about things when they thought she couldn’t hear. One night, Agness overheard her dad talking to her mom about her DNA. He sounded nervous and mentioned something about it being “different.” That was when Agness decided she had to know the truth. Late at night, she sneaked into her dad’s lab to see what they were hiding. What she found shocked her. Her dad had research papers and files about her DNA. Her blood wasn’t normal—it was special. It was connected to something ancient. Agness learned that her DNA carried the gene of the first vampire. Her parents had been studying her for years without telling her. Her bloodline wasn’t like anyone else’s, and now, something inside her had “awakened.” Confused and scared, Agness needed to clear her head. She got in her car and drove, but it was storming, and the roads were wet. Her car slid off the road and crashed into a tree. When she opened her eyes, she was lying on the ground. Then, she saw him—the man from her dreams. He was standing in the rain, watching her with those glowing eyes. She wanted to speak, but before she could, he disappeared into the darkness. When Agness woke up, she was back in her dad’s lab. She had so many questions, and this time, her parents finally told her the truth. Her DNA was unique, connected to vampires through her ancestors. The gene had been dormant for generations, but now it had activated in her. That was why her senses were changing, why she felt different, and why strange things were happening. Her awakening wasn’t just random. It had drawn the attention of others—dangerous people who wanted her blood for their own reasons. Her parents warned her that she was in danger now. The man from her dreams wasn’t just her imagination. He was real, and he had been watching her for a long time. He said he wanted to help, but Agness didn’t trust him. He seemed cold, and she didn’t know if he was an ally or a threat. The man wasn’t the only one watching her. There was an even older, more powerful vampire who had plans for her blood. Her awakening had started something big, and she was at the center of it. Agness didn’t want any part of this vampire world, but she couldn’t avoid it anymore. Her powers were growing stronger, and so was the danger around her. Agness had to decide who to trust. Could she trust her parents, even though they lied to her for years? Could she trust the man with glowing eyes, or was he only using her? Most of all, could she trust herself as her powers kept growing? She didn’t know what to do, but she had to make a choice. Agness knew her life would never go back to normal. The world of vampires was real, and it was coming for her. She had to decide if she would fight, run, or embrace the darkness inside her. Whatever she chose, her life was forever changed.
