KINGDOM OF LEORA

The rapid footsteps of the soldiers echoed through the palace hall. Their king had ordered a hasty gathering for a meeting concerning the unfolding events in their world. Everyone was invited to attend the assembly, from the simple folk of the kingdom, the soldiers, the officials, and even the important figures of the realm.

They found the king seated on his throne, the queen by his side. Standing beside the queen was a beautiful maiden, the kingdom's cherished princess.

"Your Majesty, why have you summoned us all?" questioned a strong, authoritative figure clad in armor. This was General Harbour, the head of the Leora Kingdom's army.

"Is there something we need to know?" the General added. Whispers began to spread among the people inside the hall.

The king and queen locked eyes for a moment before the king announced the news he had received.

"Recently, there have been reports of attacks and killings of innocent creatures in other lands and kingdoms. Now, the perpetrators of these heinous murders have been confirmed. I received a letter from the King of the Kingdom of Dryas. They were attacked by Dark Sorcerers from the Kingdom of Obsidion," the king announced. Everyone gasped at the news. Some were filled with fear and apprehension.

"According to the letter I received, these Dark Sorcerers intend to conquer every land in the world to exact retribution. However, it's still unclear what the true motive of the Dark Sorcerers' king is for doing this." The king added. The people in the hall continued to whisper, their chatter growing louder.

"Your Majesty, haven't we always been allies with the kingdom of the Dark Sorcerers? In my entire life, this is the first time I've heard of the Dark Sorcerers attacking and killing creatures in our world." One citizen asked. Everyone nodded in agreement. From the very beginning, their world had remained peaceful, with a balanced unity among each land and kingdom. This was the first time the Dark Sorcerers had attacked.

"That's what I'm wondering too. But don't worry. We will remain vigilant and alert to defend our kingdom until we know the Dark Sorcerers' true intentions. Trust me, our unity will be our salvation," the king replied. The people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief when they heard their king's words.

This was the Kingdom of Leora, the kingdom of beings who wielded white magic, known as Light Sorcerers. This kingdom was one of the strongest forces of power in the world of magic, surpassing other lands. As a symbol of light, their purpose was to aid every creature in need, such as what was currently happening in their world.

KINGDOM OF DRYAS

"Have you sent the missive to the other lands?" asked the King of the Dryas, the magical beings who took the form of humans and other creatures. The Dryas king was a human with golden wings on his back. Every Dryas with blue blood had the form of a bird and wings on their backs.

"I have sent the missive to each land and kingdom, Your Majesty. They may have already received the letter and are preparing." Replied his right hand.
