They say, among the whispers of the leaves and the crackling of hearth fires, that it was the fire itself that gave birth to that child.
In a small village, a newborn unlike any other was born: he had hair as red as embers, and eyes that seemed to reflect the dawn. No one could remember such a sign. Some trembled, others prayed. But the priestess Eryndelle, guide of the Gods, spoke with a firm voice: that child was a threat.
Exiled and cursed, the child was abandoned to the night.
Years later, he returned. No longer as a rejected son, but as a being filled with power and darkness. He did not seek revenge-only mercy. In exchange for peace, he demanded a price: each year, one life in sacrifice. A single name, chosen by fate.
Time carved that tribute into tradition. Today, millennia later, the young elf Vidalya is among the names gathered for the draw. She does not know that the shadow is watching her. And that history, with her, is about to change.
