Elves are known to be a romantic and loyal race with longevity. They commit to one partner for life, until death does them apart. If their partner passes away, they feel as if their heart has been taken away by fate. It is hard for elves who have lost their partner to heal their sorrowful and lonely hearts; at the end, most of them took their own lives away to be with their beloved.
This applies to the melancholy and gloomy King Soleil von Astral; he is on the verge of taking his own life away. His beloved, Queen Asteria, died at the hands of human war, leaving him filled with hatred towards the race that took her away from him. He sealed off his beautiful elven kingdom away so none may enter or leave; he made a vow that no humans shall enter the kingdom in honour of his beloved Queen.
500 years have passed, the Elven Kingdom of Astral is still sealed, and the one courageous and charismatic king has turned the kingdom melancholy as the passing of his beloved has not lifted away. His melancholic rule affects his people; the elves aren't as cheerful as they were 500 years ago. The economics of his kingdom slowly deteriorate, and the king's council is worried for their kingdom and people. They propose the idea that they will find a bride to fill the king's empty heart for the sake of their kingdom. It may not be easy, but it is necessary to be executed. Sapphire, a 23-year-old maiden, is working as a delivery woman in the neighbouring country. As she was working as she usually does, she found an injured elf. He gave her a letter and told her to deliver it in the Kingdom of Astral as the letter was a very important notice from the Umbra Empire before succumbing to his injuries. Sapphire silently wonders how she will deliver the letter into the sealed kingdom for 500 years.

Ashes of Divinity
In this world, two realms breathe beneath the same sky - bound, opposed, and eternal. The Realm of Light flourishes with life and color: emerald forests stretching to the horizon, silver-tipped mountains crowned in clouds, and seas that glimmer like molten glass. Here, humans, elves, dwarves, and demi-humans carve their histories into cities of spires and song. Their markets hum with trade, their temples echo with prayer, and their banners flutter beneath the vigilant gaze of the Golden Circle - an order of knights clad in radiant white and gold. They call themselves arbiters of peace, keepers of balance. When kings falter and empires fall to greed, the Circle intervenes - not as saviors, but as judgment given flesh. Across the veil, the Realm of Darkness festers. A wasteland of shattered citadels and obsidian wastes, where rivers crawl like ink and the air itself hums with hunger. It is home to the Corroded, men and women stripped of soul and form, their bodies twisted by shadow. Here, Bloodfiends roam in packs, drawn to the scent of living flesh, and Hive Parasites whisper in unison - a single mind stretched across countless hosts. Light and Dark, divided yet inseparable. Two halves of a wound that refuses to close. And between them, a whisper endures - older than any king, sharper than any blade. A child shall be born of both realms, carrying the sun and shadow within. The Bringer of Balance. The Eclipse.Lengkap

A Dance Of Blades and Hearts

Oblivion, A Timeless Void
❅| "Even a vastness can no longer shelter you... or engulf your dream." ⊱⋅ ──────────── ⋅⊰ [UNDER EDITING/REDRAFTING - latest chapter: 11] To a world seemingly shrouded in a cloak of safety and eternal peace, death is an unimaginable concept. Yet for those whose rule of life was mere survival, perhaps that's a different situation. For those who stood in the face of adversity, for those who refused to give in to the castigation of their lives, life has no sweetness to it. Merely the bitter tang of a blood-chilling revenge. To avenge a loved one or perhaps even their own pain, the murderous intent behind their deceitful eyes is unmistakable. For, to them, lamenting about the past is a life lost to the cruel hands of fate. - What happens when a woman as brilliant as the morning sun provides a haven in one's dreams? What happens when she, despite the agonies life carries, says to abandon everything right here and now and leave? Alcestis did not need to be told twice. Seizing the chance to escape the horrible clutches of her grandparents, she sets out to find the Elementals-a band of heroes protecting the human realm from those that lied beyond, headed by her parents. She knew of the darkness that festered within her; she knew of the hatred that danced in her heart. More than anything, she knew the extents of how fragmented her soul was. What, perhaps, would unfold when she sets out on her journey, leaving behind the world she knew; leaving behind what hopefulness remained in her battered heart? None would heed her an answer, indeed. None save for the rage that tainted her being.
