Surrounded by walls of white marble, crumbling stones and roots, walked two figures. The one leading the way was a young man wearing a cloak and a long robe of a dark turquoise blue, around his waist were tied several vials containing strange liquids or what appeared to be colored dust. Other mysterious charms and feathers adorned his clothes and he had white marks on his face. He walked with a confident and focused step, holding a crystal ball that glowed with a dim white light.

Behind him, moving more slowly and carefully, was another man. This one also wore a similar outfit to his companion, a robe and a cloak, except that his were a charcoal gray with some purplish touches. He wore fewer accessories than the first, but instead a silk veil covered the lower part of his face and in his hands was a large stick made of several roots of ebony wood intertwined to form a semicircle towards the upper end where an ametrine sphere sat.

The stone radiating a hypnotic purple and yellow color had the gift of soothing and repelling psychic tensions and stress, in addition to strengthening the metabolism of the human body. An artifact of great use to explore the place where the two young men were, the ruins of Arcadia. An ancient civilization that was said to be extremely close to the gods. They seemed to have a great affinity with the stars, divination and magic. In order to protect the extent of their knowledge, many traps were scattered throughout the remains of the monuments.

Why did they go to such a dangerous place? Before answering this question, perhaps it was necessary to first look at the identity of the two men. The brown-haired, blue-eyed man who always seemed focused on guiding them was named Eli Clark. He was a renowned mage known throughout the continent and possessed immense magical powers capable of transcending the mortal realm. It is said that he even had the ability to read the future, but he never confirmed or denied this claim.

Then, the other man with silver hair and anthracite eyes went by the name of Aesop Carl. He was also known for the immense power of his dark magic but unlike his companion who was coveted by many kingdoms, it was more correct to say that he was feared by all. After all, he was not a mage but a sorcerer, using evil curses and the dark powers of the abyss instead. In conclusion, they were a frighteningly powerful duo with a perfect balance between good and bad.

Despite their many differences, the two adventurers were very familiar with and completely trusted each other. They had first met during their lovely childhood, living in the same poor farming village. One day, they both discovered at the same time their affinity with the elements for one, and dark spells for the other. From that moment on, they went separate ways, promising each other to write down their prowess and never forget each other.

Ten years passed and the two boys had not forgotten the promise they made to each other. Eli had become the master of the tower of mages on his side and Aesop, the moon sorcerer, a nickname earned because of the stone embedded in his scepter that perfectly reflected the rays of the moon when he lifted it and the fact that he only appeared at night. One beautiful morning, the brunet sent a sealed letter to the sorcerer, carried by his owl, a faithful companion since he had started his career as a magician. It was quite unusual to see him do so much ceremony for a letter, however.

Usually, he would simply throw a piece of paper with a few illegible sentences through a sort of mini time portal, not caring where the other would be when he received his message, sometimes surprising him while he was taking a bath. Fortunately, Aesop had good reflexes and always managed to catch the pitiful letter before it hit the water. So this time, when the mage's feathered comrade showed up at his windowsill, he couldn't help but raise suspicions in his mind.
