While he was given the right of guardianship of his daughter who was taken away from him for more or less seventeen long years Gabriel learns of the sudden disappearance of the temple in which the latter was housed, he then decides to entrust the task to his son. Kelly to find his lost sister, but he didn't know his sister was anything but the most despicable girl he knew.
A very long time ago, the celestial divinities had come to live on earth, in those times, after the angels had come to the daughters of men, and they had given them children: the earth was populated by all kinds of magical creatures.
And among these creatures, he had the Magi including an important lineage who descended directly from the most powerful angel who inhabited the earth at this time, Siphyr.
When the angels noticed that the souls of men were more and more defiled, they withdrew to the bountiful heavens the earth of men to its own fate.
Many are the heroes who are born of his angels but among them the most fearful and the most powerful were the descendants of Siphyr and they will reign order on the earth until it is invaded by demons and many of them kingdoms are created by power-hungry men.
Wars broke out here and there because of men controlled by demons and there were only the sons of Siphyr to put an end to them who had the title of half-angel.
Being disturbed by the half-angels, the demons decided to make war on them and exterminated a large part of the latter.
Two hundred years later, Anv, the last survivor of his line, gave birth before dying in Numia, his only daughter, who took refuge in the kingdom of Tormn, which was the most prosperous kingdom of the time.
During the reign of the dynasty of maz, the peoples of the Tormn kingdom were able to emerge victorious from several battles against the neighboring countries which attacked them and were thus able to stay safe from evil demons, but the kingdom was still not spared. threats because many are those who envied the throne of the king.
Numie had grace in the eyes of Memeth, a man at the head of the most powerful family of mages in the kingdom who married her and bore a daughter with her, Hermine.
During the same, the king of Tormn believed to give birth to an heir but alas it was a girl and he named her Iness.
Nimua ´s daughter Ermine and the King of Tormn's daughter Iness grew up together as two sisters.
The following year during the third month, the King of Tormn was rumored to give birth to two twins but presented only one to the eyes of the people and he was called Yoann, the Crown Prince.
Memeth had a twin brother, Gabriel, who in the same year gave birth to his first son and named him Kelly.
All were happy in their marriage except Nimue who she only had eyes for Gabriel, her husband's twin brother.
Indeed before being married by Memeth, Nimue had first tried to find grace in the eyes of Gabriel but that without success because Gabriel was a very cold and reserved man. He was the perfect embodiment of the valiant fighter and received much praise from his reward.
For many years he fought with the King of Tormn in many battles and they all emerged victorious.
This had caused Gabriel to gain the respect and admiration of the people and he soon lost them.
During the year following the birth of his eldest son, Gabriel's wife, Eliana, gave birth to a daughter he named Sol and gave a feast in his honor and celebrated the birth of his daughter with his relatives.
. Right in the middle of the feast while everyone was drinking and dancing, a jealous Nimue headed to Gabriel's chambers, gifted perhaps with bad intentions.
Being a powerful priestess, Nimue put Gabriel's wife Eliana into a deep sleep and took her daughter in her arms and fled with her.
Gabriel bursts into the room and overhears Nimue running away with her daughter.
He follows her in the only but to retrieve his daughter.
Gabriel knew Nimue and also knew the feelings she had for her because a while ago, Nimue had tried many times to break Gabriel's union to take his wife's place but without success.
This had heightened tensions between the twin brothers because the elder believed his brother was courting his wife while the younger struggled to get rid of the calamity that was his brother's wife.
Because even though Nimue was a descendant of Siphyr, she was a very cunning woman endowed with an unprecedented malice, she was just playing with her husband Memeth and Gabriel knew it and tried to get rid of her.
Nimue was now in the forest and heading towards Lake Styx carrying Gabriel's daughter in her arms pursued by Gabriel.
Ezral was a family brother with Gabriel's wife, he was in town for the birth of Gabriel's daughter, he was there to send them his congratulations with his two-year-old little boy, when he saw Gabriel running towards the forest, he ordered the guards who were nearby to go and warn Gabriel's house and follow him.
Gabriel, who had been following Nimue since then, was finally able to catch up with her and fight her in order to recover her daughter.
After a while, a cry of distress was heard coming from the forest.
Finally alerted, the powerful mages headed for the lake where the noises emanated. When they arrived they found that a man was dead, a woman seriously injured and a father covered in blood carrying his child in his arms.
Nimue had once again been able to turn the situation to her advantage, indeed she was fed up with Memeth and the fact that she could not have Gabriel for her had become a torture, so she decided to sow discord again between the two brothers one last time before disappearing forever.
- he sacrificed me for the life of his daughter, she let go before feigning death and letting herself be swallowed up by the waters of the deep lake, her body was never found...
