The words hung in the air like a death sentence."...You are under arrest for treason."Liana stared at Commander Rylan, convinced she had misheard him."Treason?" she repeated. "There has to be some mistake."The commander's expression remained unreadable, though there was sorrow in his eyes."I wish there were."Kael took a slow step forward, placing himself between Liana and the Royal Guards."I have never betrayed my kingdom."His calm voice echoed through the abandoned churchyard."I left the Celestial Kingdom under my father's direct orders."Commander Rylan lowered his gaze."I know."Kael frowned."You know?""I was there when His Majesty entrusted you with the mission.""Then why are you here?"The commander looked genuinely conflicted."Because everything changed after you crossed the portal."The wind picked up, rustling the dead leaves around the ruined church."The king collapsed shortly after your departure," Rylan continued. "He has not awakened since."Liana's heart sa

The leader of the Royal Guards slowly lowered his sword, its polished blade reflecting the pale moonlight."By the authority of the Royal Council," he declared, his voice cold and unwavering, "Prince Kael Asterion, you are under arrest for treason against the Celestial Kingdom."Silence filled the park.Liana stared at the soldiers in disbelief before turning to Kael. His expression remained calm, but she could see the pain hidden behind his sapphire-blue eyes."Treason?" she whispered. "How can a prince betray his own kingdom?"Kael didn't answer immediately. His gaze never left the guards."I expected my uncle to make his move," he finally said. "I just didn't think it would happen this soon."The captain stepped forward."Your Highness, surrender peacefully. Do not force us to fight."Kael let out a bitter laugh."You know me better than that, Commander Rylan."The captain's eyes softened for only a moment."I do. Which is why this pains me."Liana frowned."You know each other?"K

The night air was heavy with silence.The damaged street looked like the aftermath of a storm. Shattered glass covered the pavement, abandoned cars stood with their doors open, and the few people who had witnessed the strange battle had fled in terror.Liana stared at her trembling hands.The mysterious blue light had disappeared, leaving no trace that it had ever existed."What... what was that?" she whispered.She looked at the stranger standing before her.Only moments ago, he had fought three masked warriors with a sword made entirely of light. Now he stood perfectly still, his expression unreadable.Kael slowly dismissed his weapon. The glowing blade dissolved into tiny blue particles before returning to the silver pendant around his neck.Liana's eyes widened."How did you do that?"Kael remained silent.He had rehearsed countless possibilities before coming to the Human Realm, but none of them involved meeting a human capable of awakening the ancient Light of Aether.This chang

Liana's fingers brushed against the stranger's hand as they both reached for the same book.A strange warmth surged through her body, followed by a brief flash of blue light that disappeared before either of them could react.She quickly pulled her hand away."I'm... I'm sorry," she said, lowering her gaze as she gathered the remaining books.The young man stared at her in silence. His sapphire-blue eyes were filled with confusion, almost as if he had seen something impossible.He had felt it too.That mysterious energy wasn't ordinary.It was the same energy he had been searching for since arriving in the Human Realm.Liana finally stood, clutching the books to her chest."Thank you for helping me."Kael nodded politely."You dropped these."His voice was calm and deep, carrying an elegance unlike anyone she had ever met.She smiled faintly."You don't sound like you're from around here."He hesitated."You could say that."She laughed softly."What does that mean?"For a brief momen

The blue streak raced across the morning sky like a falling star.Most people in Ashbrook never noticed it. Those who did assumed it was a meteor disappearing behind the thick forest outside town.But it was neither.It was a portal.Hidden within the brilliant light was a young man who had left behind everything he had ever known.A violent gust of wind tore through Blackwood Forest as the portal burst open.Blue lightning crackled around its edges, shaking the towering trees.The next instant, a figure was thrown from the swirling vortex.He hit the forest floor hard, rolling several feet before crashing into the trunk of an ancient oak tree.The portal collapsed behind him with a deafening boom.Silence followed.For several moments, the young man remained motionless.Then he slowly pushed himself upright, breathing heavily.His black cloak was torn in several places, and a thin trail of blood trickled down the side of his forehead."So... this is the Human Realm," he muttered.He

Liana stood motionless in the middle of Ashbrook Park, her eyes fixed on the place where the mysterious blue light had vanished.The laughter of children had disappeared.The evening breeze had gone still.For a moment, it felt as though time itself had stopped.Around her, frightened voices broke the silence."Did you see that?""It came from the sky!""Someone call the police!"People hurried past her, desperate to get away from the park. Some clutched their children tightly, while others nervously looked toward the darkening sky as though expecting another strange phenomenon.Liana swallowed hard.Her feet refused to move.She couldn't explain it, but instead of fear, she felt an overwhelming pull toward the place where the light had appeared.Slowly, she walked closer.The grass where the light had struck looked perfectly normal.No burn marks.No crater.No sign that anything unusual had happened.She knelt and gently touched the ground.It was warm.Not from the evening sun.Fro
