Chapter 10

Eldoria had known peace for a generation under the watchful guidance of King Aiden and Ranger-Protector Elara, heirs to the legendary legacy of Tristan and Lyra.

Aiden, now in his prime as a ruler, continued to lead Eldoria with the wisdom and grace that had earned him the admiration of his people. His days were spent navigating the complexities of governance and diplomacy, ensuring that the kingdom flourished under his just and compassionate rule. Yet beneath his composed exterior lay a heart burdened by the weight of responsibility and the knowledge that darkness still lurked on the edges of their realm.
