In this scene, Lefel stands at the threshold of adulthood, just approaching his eighteenth season. In our tale, a “season” marks each passing year, distinct from the familiar cycles of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Born with a rare and powerful gift, Lefel’s memories have long been shrouded in a mysterious suppression. These concealed memories harbor secrets so potent that they have drawn the relentless pursuit of the Keepers, outworlders who are not native to his realm.
His closest companion, bound by bonds stronger than blood, has just returned from a treacherous mission, bearing mortal wounds. This harrowing event becomes a crucible for Lefel, igniting the resurgence of long-forgotten memories. The Venern, a race of high elves with an ethereal grace, inhabit this world. While their essence may echo the elves of lore, they are unique to this story, inviting readers to envision them through their own imagination.
This moment of revelation is profound, as Lefel starts to comprehend that his life and destiny are far from the ordinary path he once envisioned. His journey is just beginning, and it promises to be one filled with magic, discovery, and the unraveling of ancient mysteries.
