Kale, a boy born and raised in the poverty-stricken city of Greyhollow, becomes a feared sellsword after being recruited by a ruthless mercenary company. Hardened by loss and endless battles, he lives by the sword, owning no loyalty but survival. His fate changes when he's hired to protect Elyria, a disguised noblewoman with a secret heritage tied to ancient elven magic.

As war threatens the kingdom, Kale and Elyria uncover a sinister plot involving an ancient evil long thought defeated. Alongside a young royal girl named Ilyen, they flee betrayal and deadly enemies. Elyria's powers awaken, revealing her elven bloodline and connection to the magic that once sealed the evil away.

Together, they journey through forbidden realms, face unimaginable horrors, and confront the evil ruler in his own shadowy domain. Through love, sacrifice, and fire, Kale and Elyria lead a desperate fight to save their world - but victory leaves them forever changed, their lives bound by scars, magic, and hope.

Aeonae: Fragments of Destiny by thecorporateauthor
6 parts Ongoing
In ancient times, there existed a magical stone imbued with immense power. Whoever touched it gained extraordinary abilities. Many coveted the stone, driven by their desire for magic. To safeguard it, the stone chose a brave Aeonaeian of pure heart as its protector. Her name was Eeria. She hid the stone in a secure and remote location, far from all Aeonaeians. The realm of Aeonae was divided into four kingdoms: Geonn, Aerie, Freix, and Irryad. Peace reigned across Aeonae-until one fateful night. Consumed by greed and ambition, King Ghallon of Freix stole the magic stone. His lust for power drove him to seek control over all Aeonae and its magic. Eeria, determined to recover the stone, confronted Ghallon. This clash ignited a fierce battle that brought devastation and death, endangering all life in Aeonae. Despite her resolve, Eeria could not defeat the king, as the stone had made him incredibly powerful. Realizing this, she devised a new plan: to destroy the stone. While brave knights engaged Ghallon to distract him, Eeria shattered the stone, scattering its magic to the far reaches of Aeonae. Enraged by her act, Ghallon ended the battle by striking Eeria down. As she lay dying, she spoke a prophecy: "This conflict is not over. Though you claim victory today, it will not endure. On the night of the first lunar eclipse, four Aeonaeians will be born, each possessing great and powerful magic. They shall end your tyranny and restore peace and order to this world. They will become the Guardians of Aeonae."

When Elira is captured during a failed infiltration mission, Kael spares her life-not out of mercy, but strategy. He offers her a dangerous deal: help him uncover the truth about a growing rebellion within his own ranks, and he'll end the war with Avaria peacefully. Bound by mutual hate and forced proximity, they embark on a journey across hostile territories and political intrigues, where betrayal lurks behind every shadow. As tensions rise and secrets are uncovered, Elira discovers that Kael isn't the monster she believed-and Kael realizes that Elira's fire may be the only thing strong enough to melt the ice around his soul.
