The Wings Of Light (Elgar’s Chronicles #1)

Prologue

THE DAWN OF COSMOS

At the dawn of creation, when the cosmos was a canvas awaiting the stroke of divine hands, the Gods stood as arbiters of order and guardians of balance. Their dominion over the realms was absolute, their powers unrivalled.

Yet whispers stirred against the monotony of their reign.

It was said that Vordak, the God of shadows, and Kvirr, the ruler of light, shared a bond that transcended the boundaries of their essences.

Their love burned bright as a secret flame in the depths of the cosmos, defying fate and the way of the Gods.

The forbidden union of light and darkness threatened to disrupt the delicate equilibrium that held the worlds in harmony. Consumed by fear and envy of their bond, the Gods conspired to keep Vordak and Kvirr apart. In their arrogance, they interfered, believing they knew best what the world needed.

The Gods designed a plan to divide the realms, erecting barriers of divine energy to separate light from darkness, keeping Vordak and Kvirr forever apart.

And love, like all things, is not immune to betrayal.

Consumed by rage and vengeance, Vordak sought to plunge the realms into eternal darkness, while Kvirr, fuelled by forgiveness and compassion, emerged as a beacon of light against the shadows.

Amidst the chaos, Vordak gained the upper hand, plunging Elgar into darkness for years. Until a glimmer of hope sparked as Kvirr sent her valkyries to defeat the horde of darkness threatening to swallow the surviving realms.

To maintain the peace, Kvirr’s magic was harnessed, and so the mundanes learned the power of light to ward off evil, accepting the role of guardians in exchange.

But pride and greed whisper in the dark, feeding Vordak’s thirst for vengeance, not stopping until he gets back what he lost. So the eternal meddling of the Gods between light and darkness began a divine battle that rages to this day.

The legend of the Gods' hunger for power, forbidden love, and betrayal lives on, a testament to the eternal quest for balance. A cautionary tale for the next generations. Unfortunately, like any legend, it gets altered over time, or worse.
