The Abandoned Blood

In a world where magic is tied to bloodlines, power is everything. The Von Schwarzenwald family, feared and revered across the continent of Elyria, has long held dominance through their mastery of ancient and powerful magic. But not all legacies are forged in strength—some are born of darkness. William von Schwarzenwald, once a man cursed with a weak bloodline, clawed his way to power through forbidden dark magic, corrupting his very soul in the process. His ambitions knew no bounds, but the price was steep. His third child, Elias, was born the night his wife, Lady Amara, succumbed to a mysterious illness that drained her life force. Seen as a disgrace to the family, Elias grew up in the shadow of his father’s power and his siblings’ brilliance, discarded and forgotten. Now, years later, as the Von Schwarzenwald family’s power reaches its zenith, the dark past that gave rise to their empire threatens to unravel. Elias, the overlooked and forsaken son, must navigate the dangerous web of family politics, magic, and his father’s monstrous ambition. But as he uncovers the truth behind his mother’s death and the curse that haunts his bloodline, Elias will face a choice: succumb to the legacy of corruption or forge a path to his own destiny. In a world of dragons, demons, and ancient mysteries, Elias’ journey will take him from the towering halls of his family’s estate to the uncharted lands of Kyrios, where the greatest secrets—and dangers—of the world lie in wait. "catalyst of darkness" is a tale of family, betrayal, and the fight to reclaim one’s place in a world where power rules all.

Crescent Moon: Ancient Prophecy

But as the ages passed, the gods' harmony was disrupted. Their rivalries and conflicts began to shape the world, and their powers, once balanced, now clashed. The land suffered, and the Kaleeki's magic began to wane. Terra, the guardian of balance, recognized the danger and took drastic measures. With a heavy heart, he chained the gods' powers, imprisoning them as stars in the sky. The world of Eridoria was forever changed. Terra, in his wisdom, foresaw a future where the balance would be restored. He prophesied that a child, born under the crescent moon, would wield the four powers of the gods. This child, named Ava, would be the key to unlocking the gods' chains and restoring harmony to the land. The prophecy was written on a sacred scroll, hidden in an ancient cave, and guarded by the priests of the Sanian caste. Centuries passed, and the prophecy was all but forgotten. But the oldest member of the Sanian caste, a wise and venerable Kaleeki named Kaelin Darkhaven, stumbled upon the ancient scroll while exploring the depths of the cave. As he unrolled the parchment, the words of Terra shone with a faint, otherworldly light. Kaelin knew that he had uncovered something momentous and hastened to share the prophecy with King Arin II. The king, intrigued by the prophecy, called upon his advisors and the leaders of the Kaleeki castes to convene in the great hall of the palace. Kaelin Darkhaven presented the scroll, and the assembly listened in awe as the prophecy was read aloud. The words spoke of Ava, a child born of a barren mother, who would wield the powers of the four gods and restore balance to the world. The assembly was divided, some doubting the prophecy's validity, while others saw it as a beacon of hope. King Arin II, however, was resolute. He decreed that the prophecy be spread throughout the land, and that the people of Eridoria prepare for the coming of Ava, the chosen one. And so, the kingdom awaited the arrival of the child who would bring harmony back to the world.
