Chapter 2 - “The Silent Prince”

THE WORLD OF ELYNDOR

Long before history was carved into stone,

before kingdoms rose and fell,

the world formed itself into ten vast continents, each separated by endless oceans.

1. Drakonis — Land of Dragons

Mountains breathing fire, skies ruled by ancient wings.

2. Umbrahel — Domain of Demons

A land of black stone, crimson storms, and forbidden magic.

3. Aurumheim — Forge of Dwarves

Golden caverns and subterranean cities burning with eternal forges.

4. Sylvestria — Kingdom of Elves

Emerald forests where time flows differently beneath moonlit branches.

5. Ignisar — Realm of Flame Giants

Volcanic plains where colossal beings walk among rivers of magma.

6. Frostgard — Territory of Iceborn

A frozen wasteland where warriors are shaped from blizzards themselves.

7. Thalassia — Nation of Merfolk

A kingdom beneath crystalline waters, deeper than mortal knowledge.

8. Zephyron — Haven of Skyfolk

Floating islands drifting above the clouds.

9. Solarys — Continent of Humans

Vast cities, fertile plains, ambitious kingdoms—

the most chaotic and fastest-growing of all races.

10. Aeternum — The Central Continent

The Neutral Ground.

A sacred land where no race claims ownership.

Governed by the Council of Nine Kings, one from each continent,

to preserve balance, peace, and alliances.

A fragile harmony.

A timeless order.

But all of it was destined to shake.

THE HUMAN CONTINENT — SOLARYS EMPIRE

Golden banners danced over the capital city.

The streets overflowed with celebration, bells chiming through the crisp morning air.

The long-awaited heir to the Veldion bloodline had been born.

Inside the Imperial Palace —

carved from moonstone and sunlight — The woman with white hair with deep blue eyes, watching a baby in a cradle she is

Empress Selene Veldion cradled her newborn son.

A boy with snow-white hair.

Calm, unblinking blue eyes.

For some reason he is Silent.

He did not cry.

The servants are asked nervously.

"Your Majesty… he's so quiet."

"I've never seen a newborn this still."

Empress Selene held him close, voice trembling but gentle.

"He's beautiful… just different."

Then the Emperor arrived —

Raizen Veldion, ruler of the Human Empire.

He approached the child with solemn pride.

"…Aster," he whispered.

"Aster Veldion. My son."

But at that moment—

the world changed for the newborn prince.

Only Aster saw it.

A faint shimmer.

A strange glow above him.

A floating panel of light unreadable to anyone else.

> [ SYSTEM BOOTING… ]

Host Identified: Aster Veldion

Race: Human/Half primordial

Aster blinked.

The panel vanished without a trace.

No one else in the room reacted.

To them, nothing had happened.

Only Aster sensed the whisper of something ancient stirring within him.

IN A DISTANT UNIVERSE

Far beyond the continents of Elyndor,

beyond mortal skies,

beyond the reach of any race—

somewhere in the silent dark between shattered stars…

A figure stood alone.

An unknown identity, shrouded in shadow and golden light.

He watched Aster's world

from a distance mortals could never fathom.

The corners of his invisible lips lifted slightly.

"…You finally came."

His voice echoed through the void—

gentle, ancient, and filled with emotion.

"I've waited ages for your return."

Space trembled softly around him.

"Grow strong…

Aster Veldion."

Golden eyes flickered once.

"Until the day you stand before me—

I will remain hidden."

And with a ripple of light,

the unknown being vanished into the endless universe.
