Story

In the bustling city of Eldoria, where the magic and the technology coexist, we meet the young, talented mage named Elara. The city is unraveled in the mysteries of an ancient prophecy that foretells the return of a dark sorcerer, Melchior. This world is surrounded by a threat that just Elara knows. The visions convinced her that the prophecy is real, and now she lives by it. In her vision, seeing Melchior destroying the city and the people in it without mercy, was enough thread for her and her people. Living day by day with this thought, wasn’t pleasant, and she started digging in her sources thorough. Busting the thread by reading all kind of magical books about this sorcerer from her Genie University, she spends most of her time there for the good of a new and better era. Because she doesn’t know when he will appear, her research is a little bit chaotic, and maybe she skips some important information between the lines.

After days of searching in the archives of the university, the superior mag sees her very impatiently and approach her to check her curiosity of those books that she reads and wants to read. Elara was very surprised to see him near and tried to behave herself and her fear for the city. All that reading put her knowledge through the point where she can easily explain her behavior about reading those kinds of books. The superior mag was very thrilled to hear about her well explained research and thought that will be better for her to start a project about it and gain some more members to help her pursue her goal. He wasn’t aware about that thread she saw, but thought about the same thing as her, and because of that feeling of vanishing a city in front of her eyes, her search was a good reason for him to believe in her. Building a program just for her, Mate, the superior mag, sees in her a very big potential and tries to implement this project as soon as possible in the curricula of the university. Elara was in a good way surprised by the trust of her superior and now, because of that, she has a bigger responsibility on her shoulders.

Behind the scenes, the feeling of being in charge of something important, as the well-being of a city, is for real big baggage for just a girl with some visions. Elara is a girl with a very tenacious mind and skillful body, made for sure for this event, her hair red and blue eyes takes her outside the world box without any problem for this world. Her beauty and skills make her a wonderful person. Living in a magical world, the technology takes her part in it with more and stable help for it. Can be said that it is a fairy world, but is for sure upgraded by the lines of the technology. Elara scanned more than nine books in a week and all what she could find about Melchior is that he can only be revived, in his true form, by his only helper Boomclock. The sad part is that Boomclock, the black magic lord is chained in the most inescapable prison in the world, for more than twenty years ago he lives there.

Unbeknownst to Eldoria, her discovery would set into motion a series of events that would not only unravel the mysteries of the magical challenges but also change the fate of Eldoria forever.
