The tale of Zayra [in Review]

PROLOGUE

In a time long past, many centuries before our story began, Earth and Marian were two worlds in eternal conflict. These celestial spheres were trapped in a bloody war that had lasted for generations. Earth, inhabited by humans, represented strength, passion, and vitality. In contrast, Marian, with its silvery landscapes, black waters, and eternally nocturnal skies, embodied magic, the mysterious beauty of the stars, and the power of the universe.

The wars between these two worlds were fueled by centuries of misunderstandings and prejudices. Earthlings saw the inhabitants of Marian as dark and arcane creatures, while the Marians considered humans to be invasive intruders. The conflict had led to the devastation of entire civilizations and the death of countless lives.

However, just when it seemed there was no hope for peace, an extraordinary event took place. Prince Shad of Erectom, a terrestrial kingdom, and Princess Selene of Astrid met for the first time during a temporary truce between the two factions. It was a chance encounter, but fate had other plans.

Initially, Shad and Selene represented their respective worlds and contrasting cultures. However, as they spent time together, they learned to know each other and to see beyond their differences. Prince Shad was fascinated by Selene's ethereal beauty and her deep connection with the moon and stars. Princess Selene was struck by Shad's kindness and his determination to find a peaceful solution to the conflict.

A forbidden and secret love blossomed between them. Despite the disapproval of their respective worlds, Shad and Selene reunited secretly during their nocturnal meetings under a starry sky. These moments of love between the two represented a hope for peace between the two conflicting civilizations.

Their secret and passionate love story led to a courageous decision: to marry and seek a way to unite their divided worlds. This choice was not welcomed by many, but Shad and Selene were willing to do anything to end the war.

Together, they worked tirelessly to convince their people to lay down their weapons and seek peace. They created an alliance between Earth and Marian that, although difficult at the beginning, eventually led to an era of prosperity and cooperation between the two worlds.

Their union also led to the birth of their two children, Night and Zayra. However, the past would not be so easily forgotten, and the dark forces of the old witch Megehra were ready to seek revenge, threatening to separate Shad, Selene, and their beloved children once again.

Thus began the story of Shad and Selene, a love story that defied war and hatred, which would influence the fate of two worlds and the life of Zayra, the princess destined to unite the past and the future.
