Something is awaiting our beloved prince of the northern kingdom. Something looming over the shoulder of the lightly armored prince. What could it be? How could it be?
The epics of Alvin write themselves as this naive and recluse prince finally spreads his two wings, casting a shadow over the eyes of his observers. Eyes that are hungry for more. Hands that can finally grasp that which was hidden and cocooned inside the castle walls extend upwards, fighting for who gets the catch first. The king did an incredible job hiding his son from this cruel world, but not anymore. He is free. for better or for worse.

Vail of Thorns
Our story begins in a world where magic is a currency, and power is the only true god. The Fae are hunted, imprisoned, or bent into service. The human elite trade their souls for a taste of their waning power, while the common folk, shackled by fear of the unknown, betray their own neighbors for a whisper of safety. In this shadowed land, an innocent love is warped by desperate need and the crushing weight of expectation. From this corruption, an ancient evil stirs. Its goal is to shatter the veil that protects our world, to tear open the Fae Realm and drain its magic dry-all to feed a sinister hunger for dominion, no matter the cost. Darkness, after all, does not always storm the gates. Often, it seeps in through the cracks in the human heart. The journey ahead is long, paved with secrets and woven with lies. But hold fast. For even the deepest night must break, and a new dawn awaits on the horizon.

The Dark Lord's Kiss for the Pure Virgin Girl! 🦇🖤
Lara, in this magical and enchanting world, nothing is a lie! So believe in fairy tales. This was the phrase my mother whispered to me every night with her gentle voice. When she read the story of "Jack and the Beanstalk," I would always curiously ask: • But why don't I have a magic bean that can take me wherever I want? She would smile kindly and keep hope alive in my heart. We all believed in magic and wizards as children, fairy tales, and Little Red Riding Hood! I wished I would never know the bitter taste of reality. But years after her death, I faced the harsh reality of the world; a reality I had always tried to escape. After my mother's death, her voice remained with me, inviting me to the bright world of hope; unlike many who grew up and no longer believed in any childish dreams. But I remained faithful to stories and the land of fairies, believing that destiny awaits us all! We are born into different tales and live with love. However, the bitterness of the world ensnared me in its grip. Just when I was only nine years old, I became acquainted with the bitter reality of life; when the snowy night arrived! I had never seen snow so terrifying and ugly. Because my mother was in bed, coughing up blood and taking her last breaths. A tiny bit of white snow had fallen from my woolen boots onto the ground, and when her hand hung limp, droplets of blood dripped from her fingers onto the snow, turning it red.
