PROLOGUE

“Queen Arshtat, the darkness is dissipating the barrier that Illumin is conjuring. Xylenia is not anymore safe” Jiri said. Jiri is Arshtat’s s protector and also her adopted daughter. “Your Highness, We must evacuate you and the crystal Illumin at once” Jiri now sounded forceful, she wants to save the queen at all costs, for she always knew that the queen can be the only hope of the mortal world. Once darkness will fully engulf the city of Xylenia the demon realm Agon would be open, and demons may come and go to torture everyone, The queen is their only hope now, for she has magic beyond any mage that the city of Xylenia have

“Jiri, listen to me. I can save everyone. But you must do as I instruct you” Queen Arshtat said with conviction but looked weaker.

“What is your plan Your Highness? You must not do anything reckless. I swear on the crystal Illumin and by my life that I would do anything in my power to protect you” but the queen just smiled at her daughter and patted her shoulder

“Jiri, I have many secrets that I need you to know. You are my daughter and the most powerful apprentice I had, ever since I came to the mortal world” Queen Arshtat said. “Come here and sit with me, For we do not have much time, the barrier can still hold for 3 days at a maximum. I need to tell you everything I know” Jiri complied the Queen’s request and sat on her bed. She has become frail for the past months when the dark anomaly came, She has been using most of her power to protect countries that has been struck by it. And now it has found its way to the Hidden City of Xylenia, the City she has established.

The City of Xylenia was founded by Queen Arshtat 1500 years ago. She has roamed the world for beings that have inherent magic in them, they were called mages, sorcerers, witches, druids and all sorts by the non-magical mortals and they feared them. So Arshtat gathered most of them to one place and there she trained them and taught them how to be productive and that was how the City of Xylenia came about.

Jiri sat idly near the queen, she glanced at her adoptive mother and just admired how beautiful she is, with her fair skin, long flowing silvery hair, sky blue eyes, long narrow nose, and lips that are red as an apple, and she never grew old, Jiri has always wanted to be as beautiful as her mother but she knew that she would never have her looks for she was only adopted, but she loved her nonetheless. The queen told her that when she was taking a walk near a lake one day, she saw a baby engulfed in a magical aura. Maybe she was abandoned near the lake because her parents had feared the lights that engulfed her when she was born. So the queen adopted her as her daughter. Now Jiri wanted to know what secrets her mother is going to reveal to her.

“Jiri, there are three realms, Agon the demon realm, Mundan the mortal realm, and Consecran the Holy realm” the queen began. Jiri was now baffled, she knew about Agon but she did not know about Consecran and the mortal world having a name. But she held her questions so that her mother can continue her story

“Agon had always wanted to dominate everything and planned on conquering Consecran, but in between both realms was another realm with impassable barrier and that realm is Mundan; the mortal realm. The Demon King wanted to conquer Mundan so that they could have easy access to battle Consecran but Mundan has always been protected, it has been said that when Agon and Consecran were made, the distortion in between was considered neutral ground and the founding dieties of Agon and Consecran agreed to not meddle with the distortion and covered it with a barrier with both of their powers. That’s why the mortal realm has always been oblivious to deities and demons.” Arshtat explained.

“But Your Highness, If that is true, Why won’t Consecran help us?” Jiri asked,

“Consecran has always been unbending with rules, They believed that the barrier on Mundan would always be stable and the realms would be always safe but somehow the demons have found holes in the barrier and have been wrecking havoc in the mortal world. That’s the only time where Consecran interfered, but they did it minimally, they sent wards on the holes to close it up. That is the only help we can be assured of from the holy realm.” The queen continued
