❗PLEASE NOTE; STORY IS UNDER HEAVY RE-WRITING AND EDITING.❗ Thousands of years ago, in an act of balancing the good and bad, a prophecy was made by the two bridge-keepers of Azureth and Earth, Velkrith and Edrakar. The prophecy stated; A time shall come when a child, born upon Earth, awakens to true consciousness and mastery of such gifts that the seal between realms tremble, for the dark emperor of Azureth, Malakai, to rise. The king's wicked power will pierce the fabric of peace that has long divided the worlds. And when that day arrives, no man will remain to tell the tales of the fall of Earth again. In that hour, the chosen child shall stand at the edge of destiny - to either guard the light or surrender to the darkness for eternity. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Credits to @marielveve on tiktok for this amazing book cover idea.
