In the aftermath of their near-defeat, Callum, Rayla, Claudia, and Soren must confront an even greater threat as Aurobos, the ancient necromancer, enacts a sinister new plan. With his Cold War machinations foiled, Aurobos turns his sights on the Sunfire Elf capital, where the most powerful artifact in Xadia, the Sunstone, lies. His goal: to harness its power, harvest countless souls, and unleash an army of undead to plunge the world into darkness.
As tensions rise within the group, old wounds reopen, and new alliances are tested. Callum struggles with the weight of his growing magical abilities, Claudia faces the temptation of dark magic, and Rayla wrestles with jealousy and the ghosts of her past. Meanwhile, Soren's inner conflict begins to darken, leading him down a path that could spell disaster for them all.
The battle for Xadia is far from over, and the stakes have never been higher. As the heroes race against time to stop Aurobos, they must find the strength to overcome their own fears-or risk losing everything to the fires of war.
Author's Note:
This fic was written between seasons 2 and 3. I decided to continue writing this fic as an alternative universe to almost everything the audience saw in Season 3.
