A Kingdom Without a Queen

작가: Tyson Roy
last update 최신 업데이트: 2025-07-05 05:45:09

Without a crown to fear and a voice to follow, old instincts awaken.

For a time, Elara’s shadow had been enough. Her memory shaped the tides of politics and war more surely than any law ever etched in silver or stone. She had left the world not in conquest, but in trust, a belief that the fire she planted would warm rather than consume. Yet trust, in Eldoria, had always been a gamble, and hope was thin gruel for the hungry.

Now, peace, never perfect, began to fray.

In the whisper-thick hours after dusk, rumours moved faster than wind. In the Crimson Heights, the vampires whispered in velvet-dark corridors, wine swirling in crystalline goblets as they debated the portents. To the west, the Lycan councils met under clouded moons, claws unsheathed, the old rivalries resurfacing beneath words meant to be diplomatic. Even among the witches, once the staunchest defenders of balance, debate became division, and division edged closer to disaster.

What Elara left was not a throne. It was an ec

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   Kael’s Return to Court

    The court had forgotten the weight of his silence.But the moment Kael stepped through the gates, they remembered.Because some blades never dull. Some wolves never stop watching.And some loyalties, do not end with the queen.Sanctum had changed since Kael last crossed its outer walls.What once had the sharp, ordered beauty of stone and iron now shimmered with something softer, more fragile, a beauty won at great cost, but vulnerable as spun glass. The marble towers, their proud banners replaced by winding veils of star-bright ivy, reached toward a dawn that felt too gentle for all the blood they had witnessed. Iron gates, melted in the old peace accords, now shaped delicate sculptures: arms upraised, hands open, silent mouths yearning. They glistened under lanterns of bottled starlight, making the whole city seem to hold its breath.But beneath all that light, Kael could smell the fracture.Not the kind that split stone or toppled banners. The kind that whispered in council hallway

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Shadow Bloom

    Some things do not return with noise.They take root in stillness, growing quietly in the corners of old wounds, blooming out of memory’s softest earth, refusing to be rushed. They are not portents carried by storm, nor omens scrawled in thunder. They are the world’s breath taken in, and finally, when the realm is ready, a gentle exhale.When the Shadow Bloom returned, the land did not erupt with fanfare. It simply, quietly, remembered.It began, as such things do, with small wonders overlooked.In Marrow Hollow, a river village marked more by its sorrows than its harvests, the night was thick with fog. Old men drank silently by guttering lanterns, and the children who still dared to play after dusk came home with blue-black petals tangled in their hair.The villagers noticed the first blooms in the muddy bends south of the mill. Tiny petals, midnight-stained and luminous as dew-washed obsidian, opening only after sunset. Their fragrance was nearly nothing, a soft hint of cedar, earth

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Archive of Silence

    History forgets. Power buries. Time distorts.But in the deep heart of the Hollow Spine, where ancient mists thread through broken valleys and the world grows so quiet it feels like the after-breath of creation, there stands a monument to all that has been lost. No name marks it on any map. No road leads to it. It is not a castle or a tower, not a tomb or a temple. It is simply a monolith: obsidian, seamless, swallowing moonlight and memory alike.No living soul claims dominion here. For this place belongs only to memory. And to the being who guards it.Some say the Archive Keeper was never truly born. That he was shaped from the first oath broken, or perhaps from a sigh that escaped the lips of the world’s first betrayed queen. Others say he was once a man, flesh and frail, who loved Elara not with the desperation of a knight or the arrogance of a king, but with the reverence of one who saw her wounds and wished only to bear witness.No one knows the truth. For the Archive Keeper has

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Stonewake

    When fire awakens, stone remembers.And what is carved cannot lie, only wait.Long had Eldoria forgotten the truths buried beneath its shifting foundations, distracted by wars, politics, and the ceaseless hunger of the present. But the stone, older than memory, patient as the turning of the moons, never forgot. And now, with the age of flame and shadow threatening to close, memory demanded reckoning.It began in the Hall of Echoes.Few in Eldoria dared to name that place aloud. It lingered beneath the ruined bones of Virelith Keep, a vault pressed into the cliffside like a secret the earth itself wished to keep. The wind howled there, but it was not a wind shaped by season or weather; it was the breath of lost kings, of promises broken and dreams abandoned.Once, the Hall had been a sanctum of pride, built to celebrate conquest and crown. Now, it was a tomb of pretence. And pretense was brittle as glass.The statues inside had not moved in centuries, nor had anyone expected them to. M

  • The Forgotten Heiress: Rise of The Lycan Queen   The Child with Silver Eyes

    "Prophecy does not always arrive with thunder.Sometimes, it is born with a breath, a blink, a child’s first cry in the silence after fire.And when that child opened her eyes, the world remembered her name."Prophecy did not arrive in thunder.No voice split the sky.No stars fell.Instead, it came as a hush, the moment after the last ember surrenders, when all the world inhales and, for just a blink, remembers it has a heart.On the outskirts of the northern township of Caelmir, the firestorm came as something new. Not violence. Not wrath. But revelation.Villagers watched from shuttered windows and trembling thresholds as the blaze swept overhead. Fire danced across thatched roofs and circled the old shrine. Fields of late grain rustled but did not bow to the heat; instead, they shimmered, golden and proud. The flames curled in slow, graceful arcs, illuminating the runes etched into every stone and the tangled roots that lay beneath. The children said they heard music. The old one
