For centuries, the Treaty of Silence upheld the fragile balance among the Four Elemental Kingdoms. Pyroxia burned in its ritual fire, Fissarion rose steadfast as ancient stone, Thalassya whispered in the deep tides, and Skalya danced with the winds of knowledge. But peace was never more than a restrained truce.

When Akra, future heir to the throne of Pyroxia, is attacked under mysterious circumstances, the embers of distrust flare violently. The Treaty begins to fracture. Forgotten tensions awaken. And in the shadows of Pyroxia, Emberis, the fallen city, sees its chance to reclaim what once was theirs.

Amid the chaos, whispers of the past unveil a secret long thought buried: the lost bloodline of those who once ruled the fire... and of which Akra is the last heir.

As the kingdoms sway on the brink of war, she must face the truth of her blood, the power that pulses in her bond with Jeyven, and the destiny she never asked for...
But one that has burned within her soul since before she was born.

55 parts Ongoing
Beneath the roots lies a realm unspoken, where shadows breathe and rivers run black. A single step too far unravels the veil between worlds, turning play into curse, and innocence into exile. Beyond the roots, the air itself conspires, forests whisper of forgotten kings, and demons walk as both beasts and men. Yet above that abyss rises a kingdom of warmth, a fragile jewel cradled in sunlight. Its streets awaken each dawn in a riot of color: banners ripple, stalls spill with fruit and cloth, and fountains laugh with crystal spray. Children dart through blooming gardens, their laughter ringing louder than bells, while elders sit beneath arching roots, telling stories of brighter days. Here, joy is stitched into life itself. The baker greets with sugared bread, the blacksmith's hammer sings with the town musicians, and couples dance when lanterns glow like fallen stars. Festivals turn nights into oceans of song, where drums thunder and torches paint the sky in fire and gold. In this place, hope does not hide-it parades, it feasts, it laughs. The people call their home a sanctuary, untouched by sorrow, where each day begins with promise and ends in peace. To live here is to believe, if only for a moment, that darkness is nothing more than a distant dream. But beneath their feet, the roots stretch into silence. For every blossom hides its shadow, and every feast masks a silence that waits. The kingdom may be a cradle of joy, but its foundation drinks from the same soil where nightmares stir. Here, survival is no gift. Every choice is a bargain, every path a trial. What seems human may wear another face, and what seems monstrous may hold a broken heart. Secrets buried for centuries stir in the soil, twisting destiny tighter with every breath. This is not a tale of crowns or kingdoms, but of a world where light is fragile, where hope withers, and where even the roots that bind the earth tremble before what waits below.
