The Legend of Aireta -- Ascending Shades

The Republic of Kerea is a land of eternal light where nothing is more feared than the dark, and those who bring it. Yet over the years, blackness has risen and Shades -- dwellers of the Shadows, the eternal pit of darkness -- have been possessing powerful members of the government, with a plan to ascend and destroy Kerea and its inhabitants.

Kinos, a miner in the city of Laritum, does not fear the dark, nor does he revere it. He wants to spend his working hours beneath the ground, digging out precious minerals and hurdling every challenge. The rest of the time, he wishes to spend in comfort with his friends and fiancée, the daughter of Laritum's mayor. However, when Kinos' fiancée gets dragged into the Shade's conspiracy, Kinos must go to save her with the only ally who can help him: a defecting Shade.
