Prologue

Darkness has always been a part of this world. It lurked in the shadows, whispered through crumbling walls, and slumbered in depths no one dared to explore. But most of all, it lived in the hearts of men and women—in the urge to suppress what cannot be understood.

It became a legend. Then a fairy tale. Then oblivion.

But Darkness does not forget.

Somewhere in the heart of an ancient castle, buried by time and lost even to those who should remember it, the Darkness stirred and began its game.
A deceptive and treacherous game, one in which the players were doomed to lose. Or were they?

The Chosen have set foot on their path. Diligently following... what?

The journey will be long and grueling, filled with trials of both spirit and flesh. Even those who know its beginning cannot fathom where it will end. For the wheel of fate has already turned, and no force can halt its sacred rotation.

The prophecy has been spoken by the elders.

And the time has come for it to be fulfilled.
