Chapter 1 Village of elodriad

**Chapter 1: The Village of Eldoria

Aelin had always felt there was something different about her. Growing up in the small village of Eldoria, nestled at the edge of the Whispering Woods, she had often heard the whispers of ancient tales and forgotten legends. The villagers spoke of dragons and magic, of heroes and prophecies, but to Aelin, they were just stories-until the day she found the artifact.

It was a cool autumn evening when she ventured deeper into the forest than ever before. The sun was setting, casting an orange glow through the trees, when she stumbled upon a clearing. At the center stood an ancient stone pedestal, covered in vines. On it lay a small, box, shimmering with an otherworldly light.

Curiosity piqued, Aelin approached the pedestal, her heart pounding in her chest. She reached out, her fingers brushing against the cool surface of the box. As soon as she touched it, a surge of energy shot through her, and the box sprang open. Inside was a beautiful amulet, its center a deep, swirling blue that seemed to hold the secrets of the universe.

Aelin picked up the amulet, feeling its warmth spread through her hand. Suddenly, the ground beneath her feet began to tremble, and a voice echoed in her mind.

"The heir of the dragons shall rise,

From humble roots to claim the skies.

A war shall wage, the dark shall fall,

And through her light, she'll save us all."

Startled, Aelin looked around, but there was no one in sight. The voice faded, leaving her with a sense of urgency and a thousand questions. She quickly placed the amulet around her neck, feeling a strange sense of connection as it rested against her skin.

As she made her way back to the village, Aelin couldn't shake the feeling that her life was about to change forever. Little did she know, this discovery was just the beginning of an epic journey-one that would take her far from home, challenge everything she believed, and reveal her true destiny as the dragon's heir.

Back in Eldoria, the village was preparing for the annual Harvest Festival. Colorful banners adorned the wooden houses, and the scent of freshly baked bread and roasted meats filled the air. Children ran through the streets, laughing and playing, while the adults busied themselves with the final preparations. The festival was a time of joy and celebration, a momentary escape from the hardships of daily life.

Aelin's parents, Elara and Dorian, were setting up a stall to sell Elara's famous herbal remedies. Her mother's keen knowledge of plants and their healing properties had earned her a reputation as the village's unofficial healer. Dorian, a skilled blacksmith, was arranging his latest creations: intricately crafted swords and tools that gleamed in the fading light.

"Aelin, there you are!" Elara called out as she saw her daughter approaching. "Where have you been? We could use some help here."

Aelin smiled, trying to hide the excitement bubbling inside her. "I was just exploring the woods. Sorry, I lost track of time."

Elara shook her head, a fond smile playing on her lips. "Always the curious one. Come, help your father with these."

As Aelin helped her father set up the stall, she couldn't help but feel the weight of the amulet around her neck. She hadn't yet told her parents about her discovery, unsure of how they would react. Would they believe her? Would they understand the significance of the prophecy?

The festival began, and the village square came alive with music, laughter, and the clinking of mugs filled with ale. Aelin tried to immerse herself in the festivities, but her mind kept drifting back to the amulet and the prophecy. She could feel its power pulsing against her skin, a constant reminder that her life was no longer ordinary.

As night fell, the villagers gathered around the bonfire in the center of the square. Elders told stories of the past, of heroes and monsters, of battles fought and won. Aelin listened intently, her thoughts racing. Could the stories of old hold clues about the prophecy? Was there someone in the village who knew more about the dragons?

Lost in thought, Aelin didn't notice the stranger watching her from the shadows. Dressed in a dark cloak, the stranger's eyes glinted with an intense curiosity as they observed Aelin's every move. As the flames danced and crackled, the stranger's gaze never wavered.

Later that night, as the village slept, Aelin lay awake in her small room, the amulet resting on her bedside table. She reached out and touched it, feeling a surge of warmth spread through her fingers. What did the prophecy mean? Who was she destined to become?

Suddenly, a soft knock on her window startled her. Aelin sat up, her heart racing. She cautiously approached the window and peered outside. To her surprise, she saw the stranger from the festival standing below.

"Who are you?" Aelin whispered, her voice barely audible.

The stranger looked up, their face partially hidden by the cloak's hood. "My name is Kael," the stranger said in a low, urgent voice. "We need to talk. It's about the prophecy."

Aelin hesitated for a moment before quietly opening the window. She climbed out and followed Kael to the edge of the village, her curiosity overcoming her caution. Once they were a safe distance from the village, Kael turned to her, his eyes piercing and intense.

"You found the amulet, didn't you?" Kael asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Aelin nodded, clutching the amulet in her hand. "How did you know?"

Kael sighed, glancing around as if to make sure they were alone. "I've been searching for it for years. The prophecy speaks of a dragon heir, someone who will rise to save us from the coming darkness. That someone is you, Aelin."

Aelin's mind raced. "But I'm just a village girl. How can I be the one in the prophecy?"

Kael reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder. "You are more than you know. The amulet chose you for a reason. There is a great power within you, Aelin, and you must learn to harness it. The fate of our world depends on it."

Before Aelin could respond, a chilling howl echoed through the night. Kael's expression darkened, and he pulled a sword from beneath his cloak. "We don't have much time. The shadows are already here."

"Shadows?" Aelin asked, fear creeping into her voice.

"Creatures of darkness," Kael explained. "They serve a powerful enemy, one who seeks to plunge our world into eternal night. We must leave the village now. You're not safe here."

Aelin glanced back at her home, her heart aching at the thought of leaving her family and everything she had ever known. But deep down, she knew Kael was right. The prophecy had found her, and with it, a responsibility she could not ignore.

"Let's go," she said, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside her.

Kael nodded, and together they disappeared into the night, leaving the village of Eldoria and the life Aelin had always known behind.

As they made their way through the Whispering Woods, Aelin felt a mix of fear and excitement. The path ahead was uncertain, filled with dangers and unknowns, but she also felt a newfound sense of purpose. She was the dragon's heir, and her journey was just beginning.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
