Darkly Encrypted

In the freezing and shivering night, a shadow wandered between the woods before entering Oxyn, a vast community of powerful witches built from its heroic ancestors who managed to control the fire element.

Although magnificently fragile, Novah was the name of the baby girl who had been unmistakably fortuned with a pair of strange features: a cryptic mark tattooed on the skin of the child's spine and the prophecy which foreshadows the birth of a dangerous power.

If the sayings are correct and history repeats itself, Novah had been kissed by Mystral, the ghost of the dark witch who haunts souls and destroys lives, leaving the mortals with poor control over their own fate and on the verge of going mad, for the power that bares within is tremendous and unstable.

Until mortals can control their own element, they can't complete the ritual hosted by the Annual Tournament to become one with magic or dispose of their human limitations.

After being alive for a whole century, Leon Aegon, head of the defenses squad, is the only immortal who fought and survived against the darkness impaled by the ghost, though being able to manipulate all five elements certainly held a price.

When he finally finds about the secret the girl holds, soon he realizes her mark is not like his, but much more obscure. Still, as uncertainty spikes, and the tournament begins, Leon may be the one source of hope young Novah can hold on to.
