"Woah, what is this?" Jordan ran her hands across the mossy, metal remains of the machine it once was. It looked a lot like it use to be a tank, that housed something, but it got out. "This looks old, maybe about... Three years. I wonder what happened." Her eyes wandered. Something that caught her attention was the big hole, and torn up papers all over the floor. It was like a war had happened. Breaking, struggle, and death. Few skeletons laid, and bones scattered the tiled floors. It doesn't look natural.
"Hey, look at this. I found somethin'." Micah was holding a book. It was brown, and the pages looked yellow and worn out. The only thing keeping it together was a single clip. Micah held it in front of him, popping off the silver button. Inside, was tiny scribbles which he can barely make out, and he didn't try. Flipping the pages, he noticed something different. A two-paged drawing, detailed. It looked a lot like a Komodo Dragon, but it was just a darkened pale green. Bold letters, all in capitals, spelled out: 'M E G O L A N I A'
As a Cursed elf, one born with no magic, Edwyr has been forced to live among humans for over ten years. He doesn't mind his job of defending the town that he now lives in from beast attacks, and he gets along with most of the humans well enough, but he can never quite make the bitterness and resentment over being exiled go away.
Life goes on as usual until a talented but inexperienced elf named Feyrith arrives and tells Edwyr that the High Elven Council wants him to help Feyrith on a quest. Despite his hatred towards the Council, Edwyr ends up agreeing, if only because he doubts Feyrith can survive a trip like this alone.
The task is to investigate strange magical energies in a ruin a few days' travel away. Edwyr assumes that the only thing to worry about will be avoiding getting killed by the jungle wildlife, but the mission turns much more complicated when they stumble across a conspiracy that aims to change everything about the elven society. Including both of their destinies.
