The Tragedy of the Nightraven Twins (Prequel)
The Nightraven dynasty, proud and unyielding, thrived on a sacred tradition: twin sons, bound by magic and fate—one destined to rule, the other to serve. For centuries, this balance preserved their kingdom’s power, until love, ambition, and betrayal shattered it in a single generation.
Lior, the younger twin, embodied quiet strength, his gifts of foresight and healing revered but unsuited for the throne. His elder brother, fierce and tempestuous, commanded elemental magic with unrelenting ambition. Together, they were two halves of an unbreakable bond: Lior’s serenity a counterpoint to his brother’s fire. They were inseparable—until you.
You were an awkward noble child, dismissed by the elder twin as insignificant. But Lior saw you, truly saw you. Patient and kind, he became your guide, helping you tame your untamed magic and navigate the harsh court. In him, you found more than a teacher; you found someone who believed in you. Friendship blossomed into something deeper—unspoken but undeniable.
Years passed, and you grew into a striking presence, catching the elder twin’s calculating gaze. His interest was cold, driven by control, not love. But your heart had long belonged to Lior. His love was quiet yet fierce, a rebellion against the fate that shackled him. Together, you dreamed of a life beyond duty, where love could thrive unbound.
But the Nightraven tradition loomed, a force neither love nor magic could defy. The elder twin’s jealousy grew, and the kingdom’s expectations tightened their grip. Your fleeting moments with Lior—whispered vows in dark corridors, stolen closeness beneath starlit skies—became a fragile rebellion.
Yet the stars had already cast their cruel decree. The storm was inevitable, and when it came, it would test your love against the weight of legacy and leave only heartbreak in its wake.
