Synopsis

A century has passed since Emperor Korrun's fall, yet the world remains divided. The factions of the Four Realms vie for power, their goals often at odds with the fragile peace that exists.

In the Tideborn Isles, the Ocean Blades prepare for war, while the Sea Shapers struggle to rebuild bridges of peace. In the Emberlands, the Phoenix Legion marches, the Ashen Guild experiments, and the Emberkin Rebellion rises. The Skyhold Peaks are torn between Windcallers and Stormwings, and the Stonecrest Valleys hold fast against the shadows of the Hollow Syndicate. Amid this chaos, two young souls-Kaelina of the Tides and Zyric of the Emberlands-find themselves caught between these factions. Bound by fate and divided by loyalty, they must navigate a world of shifting alliances, ancient secrets, and elemental power. Their choices will determine whether the world finds balance once more-or falls into ruin. (This story was inspired by "Avatar: The last airbender")

Chapter 1Prologue: A World Divided

For centuries, the Four Realms flourished in harmony, their peoples connected by the eternal dance of water, fire, air, and earth. This balance was no accident but the result of generations of cooperation and reverence for the Eterna Cycle, the natural order of the elements. Yet the cycle was fragile. A single act of unchecked ambition shattered it, plunging the realms into a century of war and leaving scars that fester to this day.

From the ashes of Emperor Korrun's tyranny, the Four Realms rebuilt themselves-but not as they were. Factions rose and fell, alliances frayed, and new powers emerged to claim what was left of a broken world.

The Four Realms and Their Factions

The Tideborn Isles:

The Tideborn Isles are no longer the tranquil paradise they once were. After the devastation of the Emberlands' firestorms, the Isles' people became hardened and fiercely defensive. Their healing and nurturing culture was replaced with a militant vigilance, driven by a need to ensure they would never again fall victim to outside aggression.

The Ocean Blades:

A militaristic faction that commands the Tideborn navy, the Ocean Blades emerged during the war. Led by Admiral Kalorra, a cunning and ruthless strategist, they prioritize defense and swift retribution. The Blades train water-wielders not only in healing and purification but also in combat techniques that can create deadly whirlpools, ice barriers, and water spears. Kalorra preaches unity but rules with an iron fist, and her distrust of the Emberlands fuels her push for total domination of the seas.

The Sea Shapers:

A smaller, pacifist faction of Tideborn who seek to restore their realm to its former glory. They focus on healing the oceans, rebuilding villages, and fostering trade between realms. Their leader, Eiroth Tanith, believes that revenge will only perpetuate the cycle of destruction. This puts them at odds with the Ocean Blades, and tensions run high as the Isles face internal strife.

The Emberlands:

Once a proud and unified kingdom, the Emberlands are now a fractured land of warring factions, each vying for dominance in the power vacuum left by Emperor Korrun's fall. Its volcanic heartlands are dotted with fortresses, smoke-blackened ruins, and molten scars of old battles.

The Phoenix Legion:

A militarized group led by General Draekor, who dreams of restoring the Emberlands' former glory. Draekor preaches a philosophy of renewal through fire, much like Korrun before him, though he claims his intentions are nobler. The Legion has rebuilt much of the Emberlands' military might, and whispers suggest that they are searching for the lost Sunfire Engine.

The Ashen Guild:

A secretive organization of inventors, scholars, and mages who focus on advancing the realm's technology and magical understanding. The Guild has little interest in war but holds immense influence due to their ability to create powerful weapons and devices. Their leader, Lynara Flintshade, plays a dangerous game, selling her inventions to both the Phoenix Legion and rival factions for her own enigmatic purposes.

The Emberkin Rebellion:

A coalition of farmers, miners, and laborers who have grown tired of the constant power struggles. They seek to overthrow all militarized factions and establish a council of the people to rule the Emberlands. The rebellion is disorganized but passionate, led by Kaelor Pyrewind, a former soldier turned idealist.

The Skyhold Peaks:

The Skyhold Peaks, once a symbol of freedom and unity, have become a realm of scattered tribes, their people divided by fear and mistrust. The winds no longer carry songs of celebration but whispers of despair.

The Windcallers:

A faction of mystics and philosophers who strive to preserve the old ways of the Skyhold. They live in secluded monasteries high in the peaks, where they meditate on the balance of the elements and train air-wielders to use their powers for peace. Their leader, Erys Cloudtide, believes the Skyhold must reconnect with the other realms to restore harmony.

The Stormwings:

A nomadic faction of warriors who have taken a more aggressive stance. They believe the Skyhold's survival depends on strength and self-reliance, and they raid other realms to secure resources. Led by Vaelith Stormfang, the Stormwings are as unpredictable as the storms they command, their gliders darkening the skies with shadows of war.

The Silent Gale:

A shadowy group of assassins and spies who operate in secret, manipulating events across all realms. Little is known about their goals, but their actions suggest a desire to destabilize the other factions. Rumors speak of their leader, an enigmatic figure known only as The Whisperer, whose identity remains a mystery.

The Stonecrest Valleys:

The Stonecrest Valleys remain the most stable of the realms, but even their unyielding foundations have begun to crack under the weight of internal pressures. The Terraborn people continue to rebuild, yet the scars of the war have left them wary of outsiders.

The Stone Sentinels:

A faction of warriors and builders who uphold the traditional values of Stonecrest. They maintain the great fortresses and train the next generation of earth-wielders to defend the realm. Their leader, Drael Graniteheart, is a stoic and honorable man who values unity and tradition above all.

The Verdant Pact:

A faction of druids and farmers who seek to restore the natural balance of the valleys. They believe that the war disrupted the harmony of the land and that Stonecrest's obsession with fortification is damaging the earth. Their leader, Ilyn Mossroot, advocates for cooperation with the other realms, but her views are met with skepticism by the Stone Sentinels.

The Hollow Syndicate:

A shadowy organization of smugglers and mercenaries who profit from the tensions between the realms. They operate in the hidden caves and tunnels of Stonecrest, trading weapons, information, and contraband. Their leader, Ravik Hollowspike, is a cunning and ruthless opportunist who thrives in chaos.

The Cursed Prince

This book is about baby-making. [COMPLETED on chapter 715] The crown prince was cursed on the day he was born, that he will never be happy. What's worse, no woman could touch him without dying. Thus, finding a wife to produce an heir became the royal family's greatest challenge since the prince is the only son. Until one day.. a servant girl who tried to kill him didn't end up dying after they touched. Emmelyn was a princess from one of their colonies who vowed to avenge her family's death by killing the crown prince. And that's how she ended up in his castle. Seeing that she was the only woman he could have a sexual relationship with, without killing her, the prince made an agreement to let her go and free her kingdom from his oppression if she produced for him three heirs. Emmelyn said yes, but every day that they were together, she made plans to kill him and get her revenge. Can Emmelyn get what she wanted, or would she be entangled deeper with the enemy who was deemed as the devil incarnate himself by his enemies? EXCERPT: "You will be the mother of my children," said the man in a commanding tone. His shameless words rendered Emmelyn speechless and shocked, more so, than the kiss he landed on her lips earlier. "I need three children from you." "Eh ... wait.. what? Hold on a minute," Emmelyn, who was moved from her shock, hurriedly rubbed her lips roughly as if trying to remove the devil's marks from them. "I don't want to be your wife! I don't want to marry you, you devil!!" The man frowned and squinted his eyes menacingly. "Who said anything about marriage?" THE NEXT DAY "Let's go," said the prince. "Let's go where?" Emmelyn asked, not understanding. "Let's go make babies." *** CHECK OUT MY OTHER BOOKS with all doting husbands: - The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate - ONGOING - The Cursed King - COMPLETED - Finding Stardust - COMPLETED - The Alchemists - COMPLETED - The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love - COMPLETED - Till Death Do Us Part - COMPLETED I DON'T DO SLOW BURNS.

The Alpha's Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger.

“I will not be defined as a ‘wolfless deviant’ I will not be a pawn in the 'games Alphas play' And I refuse to be mated to the stranger who crashed into my life and turned everything upside down… Only that might be my biggest challenge yet.” Those were the words Lyla chanted to herself as she left the annual werewolf gala, drenched in her sweat and her pheromones. Only days ago, she was a happy teenager existing in the human world – trying to get through college and go far away, forget everything she’s been through and start life afresh but now, she’s in the middle of the gala, sprawled on the ground with her desires in everyone’s face and Alpha Ramsey Kincaid – the Lycan leader of the White Moon Throne extending his hands towards her. If she takes it, she would bring dishonour to her family because she is in no state to be mingling with anyone, talk more of the Lycan leader who was out of her league and if she refuses, she risks being sent to the pack prison for not taking better care of herself during her heat - Yes, it was a crime for her to be without a wolf. But when he touches her, something inside her stirs… Desires? Yes! Powers hidden by the moon goddess? Yes! And maybe just maybe, the stirrings of her missing wolf whose voice can calm feral wolves and heal … Can she learn to trust this man whose mouth says a different thing and his hands speak another language or would she become a pawn – a piece of chess in the games ‘Alphas play’? One thing’s for certain- Lyla Woodlands was done being the pack’s little, dirty ‘wolfless deviant’. It’s time this wolfless wonder showed them what she’s made of. #Slow burn #Wispy old prophecies # Love Triangle - ML and FL best friend #Villian in love with FL Join my discord group: https://discord.gg/t2w9NgC4
