The Shadow and the Light The Kingdom of Eldoria, a land blessed by the divine, flourished under the radiance of the Lightborne lineage. At its heart stood Prince Zayne Aurelius, a beacon of hope, wielding the legendary Light Attribute, a gift said to be bestowed by the Gods themselves. With golden eyes that shimmered like dawn and a presence that inspired unwavering devotion, he was the hero of the people, the one destined to lead Eldoria into an era of prosperity. And then, there was Dhanny. Born of common blood, raised in the shadows, and burdened with an element feared across the land: the Dark Attribute. A force whispered about in old legends, said to bring ruin and chaos. Dhanny knew exactly what they would do if they ever found out. He had spent his life concealing the truth, ensuring not a flicker of that power slipped beyond his control. But the truth was even more terrifying than the rumors. He didn't just wield darkness-he possessed all elements. Fire, water, wind, earth, lightning... Yet it was the abyss that called to him strongest. And then, fate played its hand. Through sheer talent and relentless discipline, Dhanny earned a place at the prestigious Royal Academy of Magi, the very institution where nobles, prodigies, and the chosen few refined their gifts. A place where Zayne himself trained to become the kingdom's strongest protector. To them, Dhanny was merely a commoner, an anomaly who had somehow found his way among the elite. But how long could he hide the truth? How long before someone saw through the mask? And when that moment came... Would he stand beside the kingdom's golden prince ...or cast a shadow that could swallow even the light?

Aurelia just wants to live a peaceful life. Unfortunately, the Heir of the Underground has other plans for her... ~ Left on the steps of the chapel at birth, Aurelia is taken in and trained to serve the High King, the defeater of the Fey. Only, unbeknownst to many, the Fey aren't truly gone. Though highly underpopulated, the Fey remain hidden in the Underground. They keep to themselves and avoid humans at all costs, all except for one charmingly mysterious Fey: The Heir of the Underground. And, much to Aurelia's horror, he's looking for her. And he's not at all opposed to crashing the High King's annual ball if it means getting to speak to her and reveal the truth of her heritage-a truth that Aurelia is not ready to face. But one can only avoid the truth for so long, and the more she fights who she is meant to be, the more danger she creates, not only for herself but for everyone she encounters along the way. One way or another, Aurelia is destined to go to the Underground. There, a mystery that only she can face is waiting to be solved. And the love of a lifetime is waiting for her and depending on her to help crack the case. ~ [Currently editing.
