The Bard Gem
         *****
The Undead Lady is reaching backward through Time, trying her hardest to avoid a prophecy that ends with her being trapped in a Soul Jar.
To do so, she needs the Bard Gem - and a willing victim. She has located the Bard Gem, now all she needs is the victim.

Adhunall is a rarely occuring human - a natural bard. Sadly, a defect in his ear has rendered him deaf. Dubh finds him playing in an Elysian Tavern. He persuades his mother to let him take Adhunall to the Galivorian Bard College where they have another Deaf Bard, who will be able to teach him easier than a normal bard.

Along the way, they get sucked into the quest to find the Bard Gem...

31 parts Complete
In the mystical land of Elysium, where magic weaves through every leaf and whispers secrets to the wind, a darkness begins to stir. For centuries, the balance between light and shadow has been maintained by the guardians of Elysium, a group of powerful sorcerers sworn to protect the realm from evil. But when a long-forgotten prophecy resurfaces, foretelling the rise of a malevolent force known only as the shadow, the fate of Elysium hangs in the balance. As whispers of dark omens spread like wildfire, a young orphan named Lyra finds herself thrust into a world of magic and danger. With nothing but a mysterious amulet and her wits to guide her, Lyra embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind the prophecy and stop the shadow from consuming the realm. Along the way, she allies herself with a ragtag group of misfits: a brooding warrior with a haunted past, a cunning thief with a heart of gold, and a wise old sage with secrets of his own. Together, they must navigate treacherous forests, ancient ruins, and deadly creatures as they race against time to thwart the shadow's sinister plans. But as the darkness closes in around them, Lyra discovers that the true power to save Elysium lies within herself - if only she can unlock it in time. Filled with breathtaking magic, epic battles, and unforgettable characters, "The Chronicles of Elysium: The Shadow's Embrace" is a spellbinding tale of courage, friendship, and the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of darkness.

For years, Zahara has kept a low profile in the bustling city of Elynsi, the capital of her once-beloved kingdom. To survive, she has resorted to picking pockets, a skill honed out of necessity. Little does she know that her next target would change the course of her life forever - the crowned prince of Vandrea himself, Caelum. When Zahara's nimble fingers find their way into the prince's pockets, she is caught red-handed. However, instead of facing punishment, Caelum presents her with a proposition: gather information on the growing rebel forces, and her theft against the crown will be excused. With her life hanging in the balance, Zahara has no choice but to accept. As Zahara navigates the treacherous world of espionage, her path intertwines with that of Xander, the charismatic leader of the rebellion. Despite her initial distrust, she finds herself drawn to his cause and his unwavering determination to overthrow the tyrannical King Darius. Torn between her loyalties, Zahara's heart begins to waver, and her feelings for Xander blossom into something deeper. Meanwhile, Caelum, once a staunch supporter of his father's regime, questions the brutal methods employed to maintain control. Zahara's presence awakens a defiant spirit within him, and he begins to see the injustice that has plagued Alynthi for far too long. As the tensions between the rebels and the crown reach a boiling point, a series of public whippings and executions unfold, exposing the true horrors of Darius's reign. As the war rages on, secrets are unveiled, and loyalties are tested.
