"If the drums from beneath rise again, only light can turn them back. But if vengeance is chosen once more... then the earth shall split, and no sky shall see us again."
In a kingdom nurtured by legend and shadowed by an ancient curse, a prince was born-Hauzan, son of the royal heir, whose very birth sent tremors through the marble halls of the palace. Branded a traitor. Accused of heralding doom. And in the end, condemned to death by the very land he was born to serve.
But this is not the tale of a hero who bows meekly to destiny.
This is the tale of a boy cast into the wilds of the Isle of a Thousand Souls to prove his worth. Yet there, amidst thorns and silence, he did not find death.
He found truth-and with it, a creature of old songs and star-fire: Kiz'Harb, the celestial warbird, feared in prophecy as the harbinger of a kingdom's fall.
Deep wounds. Unlikely friendships. A mythical beast the world called doom.
But is Kiz'Harb truly the curse they claimed?
Or is the curse borne by those who would silence truth to preserve a throne?
Faced with the blade or mercy, Hauzan chose a path unspoken by seers-a path that earned him exile from the palace, scorn from his people... and the loyalty of a creature once feared by both sky and earth.
This is a chronicle of choice and sacrifice, where blood is tested, and faith weighed. Where courage is not forged in steel-but in the heart of one who dares to walk forward... even as the world turns its back.
Prince Hauzan is no ordinary fairytale.
It is a saga etched in starlight and betrayal, of omens unheeded, of thrones built on thorns, and the final shield of all-family.
And in the hush behind the crown's gleam and the whisper of prophecy... rises a prince who never sought to rule-only to rewrite the fate carved for him.
Y/n felt her body pull forward, the energy wrapping around her like invisible chains. She reached out instinctively - her hand brushing Nahida's fingertips through the flickering barrier.
"Nahida-!"
Her twin's voice broke. "Y/n!"
But before she could respond, the vortex exploded in color - and Y/n was gone.
The light vanished. The portal collapsed into nothing, leaving only silence.
Nahida dropped to her knees inside the barrier, trembling, her tiny fists pressed against the glass-like wall.
