“So you’re saying, that this girl could take everything from us?” He picked up the wooden frame and turned it over in his hands as he looked over to the shadow. His eyes never met the frame again.
“Exactly, old friend.” The shadow’s eyes seemed to glow in the dull light, even as they narrowed into threatening slits. “But we mustn’t dispose of her yet, she may be of use to us. The time may come soon, though, that you’ll have to accept me and let us become whole. You wouldn’t want anything to happen to your son, would you?”
The king dropped his graze to the picture in the frame once again. His fingers tightened around it as he tensed, holding back tears. “Of course not but-” The shadowy figure quickly stood straight up, just as the king’s head turned to meet him in the eyes head on.
“But nothing, you’re in too deep to turn back now- my king. If she becomes too much of a threat only I will be able to stop her. I have no doubts she’ll target those closest to you, and let’s face it. You don’t even trust me, he’s the only one left.”
War is eminent. In the world of Ecarsis, many countries are fighting for power and land. Some are taking drastic measures to achieve this. Assassinating rulers, unorthodox invasions, spies. Most of these war crimes coming from Ugya, a place that was once known for being the most peaceful country in all the world. The emperor seems to be driven with hunger for power, and his guards have reported that he’s been heard talking to himself at night, sounding rather frustrated and mad.
Several countries have surrendered to Ugya, others have been their allies all along. Regardless the rulers, ambassadors and generals are invited to the palace to help plan their next move and for a ball afterwards. People from all over Ugya are invited to attend the ball, no matter their age or social class. Mind you, Ugya is a rich country and so are most --if not all-- the people who live in it.
That’s not all, several weeks ago a young girl washed up on the shore, near the fisher men's dock. She still hasn’t woken up, but the king has been keeping a suspiciously close eye on her. He’s even gone as far as placing a couple of his personal guard at her door, and ordered them to send for him the moment she wakes up-- no matter what he’s in the middle of.
There are many rumors as to why he’s so interested in this girl. Some hope she’s the princess who suddenly went missing when she was just a babe, but it’s unlikely. She shows little to no resemblance to the king. Others worry she’s an assassin, sent to take out the country that was quickly taking over the world. Little do they know, she’s a much bigger threat than that. She’s contracted to one of the ancient.
The ancient were legends of great animals with close connections to the earth and the universal power. Thousands of years ago they were said to have nearly destroyed human kind, but luckily the power of three ancients who were for humanity made their kind fade from existence itself. Of course, humans thought these were only legends, and nothing more. The very last of the ancients still roam the earth, and they all have different intentions. Some seek to destroy, others want nothing more than to be human.
The king made a contract with one of the Ancients. Sasari, the black wolf. Sasari is power hungry, and he has close ties with lightening and storms. Unfortunately for him, the human is still having doubts. Therefore, he cannot take over the king’s body. The girl is also contracted, but to Linza, the snake. And her contract was successful.
