During the final battle, Azriel discovered a startling truth about his lineage. In the midst of the chaos, an old hermit, who had been watching over him for years, revealed that Azriel was not just a child of prophecy, but also the hidden heir to an ancient kingdom, long thought lost to history. This revelation added a new layer of complexity to his mission, as Azriel now had to contend with those who sought to control or destroy him to claim the throne for themselves.
This hidden kingdom, known as the Kingdom of Light, held ancient secrets and powerful artifacts that could tip the balance in the struggle between good and evil. Azriel, driven by his sense of duty and justice, sought to uncover these secrets and use them to restore peace. Along the way, he encountered allies and enemies, each with their own motives and desires. Among these was a rival claimant to the throne, a cunning and ambitious noble named Kael, who believed himself the true heir. Kael's pursuit of power led him to form an uneasy alliance with the remnants of the Silent Hand, further complicating Azriel's quest.
