Starlit Myth

Chapter I: Betrayal

It is an ancient story, older than you might think, this is a story that its roots traced back to the Myth of the creation of the universe.

In the beginning, before the creation of the universe, before the concept of "Time" was created, even before the concept of "Space" was created, there was only the great Rift of Blackness.

The Rift of Blackness was an endless primal space and inside of it, there was two energies, the Holy Energy of Light, and the Vile Energy of Darkness. Those two energies lived inside the Rift, but they were reverse energies who fought endlessly but one could not win the other.

Over the long period of the war between light and darkness, two beings came to life. Female being was created from light and she was called the Supreme Ruler, queen of light, while the other being was male and was called the Great Monarch, emperor of darkness. Those two beings developed awareness and fought without stop, this led to the creation of the astral realm.

In their fight, a burst of unthinkable amount of the purest magical energy / FLANNA, was emitted and series of atomic explosions started, which in turn created the Physical Realm, otherwise known as the physical universe.

No one knew who created these grand beings, some says that those beings was there all along and they are the source of creation, while others says that they were created by a higher form of life from mystic and unknown universe, but no one knows the answer.

After the foundation of the universe, the two beings disappeared, the Supreme Ruler was replaced by the Azir and Vanir godly races while the Great Monarch was replaced by the Demon gods.

The gods were kind to the Human race and granted them the gift of magic. Human beings have become adapted to the arts of magecraft, but some men were unique case. Some humans received a blessing from the Azir and the Vanir which made them ascend above their race and transform to the Hero race.

In the continent of the Nine Clouds, there are endless kingdoms, empires, and other strong groups. Our story is focused on the western region Earthia, and in the High level empire who control that region, the Arcadia Empire.

The capital of the Arcadia Empire is called Estaiz. In the library of the royal palace, a place second only to the Grand citadel, a source of knowledge to nobility and royalty, there was one boy.

That boy sat on a chair in front of a study table, on that table, there were dozens of ancient books and paper notes, with a flask of black ink and a feather pen inside of it. That boy was the second prince, Lucas L arcadia.

That boy was half asleep while he read a book. In the darkness of his dream, a voice resonated, "Oh the great one..." the mysterious voice said, "Rise from the deep darkness, step into the light, it won't be long before we meet."' Lucas could clearly sense a shred of warm tone in that voice.

After hearing this voice, he suddenly woke up, confused. He was surprised, "What was that?" he asked himself in his thoughts.

But after a while, he still couldn't figure out what was that voice so he didn't attach any importance to it anymore so he continued to read the book with ease while writing some notes on a paper.

Two hours have already passed. Besides Lucas, there were very few people in that library and all of them were people from noble families who had high social status within the palace itself, after all, not everyone is welcomed to the Royal Library. The doors opened, and a knight came in.

That knight was around thirty-two years old, he was trained, and wearing silver metal armor and he was carrying a sword. He had brown hair and dark-brown eyes. The knight walked in the library for a few minutes, greeting some nobles, until he reached his destination and stopped.
