In a world where ancient magic lies buried beneath centuries of secrets, Kael Solryn, a reluctant warrior, finds himself at the center of a prophecy he never wanted to fulfill. Tasked with uncovering the fragments of the Eternity Core-a relic of unimaginable power-Kael must navigate treacherous landscapes, confront shadowy foes, and wrestle with the haunting whispers that echo through his mind. Joined by Lyssa, a sharp-tongued mage with a past shrouded in mystery, and Serevan, a stoic ranger haunted by personal loss, Kael embarks on a perilous journey through forgotten ruins, cursed forests, and worlds torn asunder by conflict. As the trio delves deeper into the enigma of the Eternity Core, they uncover a chilling truth: unlocking its power could save their world-or destroy it entirely. But the Core is not the only force at play. An unseen adversary watches their every move, manipulating events from the shadows. And as Kael unravels the secrets of the relic, he is forced to confront his own destiny-a destiny that could cost him everything. With time running out and betrayal lurking at every turn, Kael and his companions must decide: will they wield the power of the Core, or will they succumb to the darkness that seeks to claim it? Whispers of Eternity is an epic tale of adventure, sacrifice, and the enduring battle between light and shadow. Fans of gripping fantasy and rich, immersive storytelling will be drawn into this unforgettable saga.
Chapter 1 PROLOGUE
Eryndor had not spoken in millennia. His voice, once vibrant and commanding, now drifted across the infinite void of the Veil Beyond, faint and desperate. This realm, suspended between existence and oblivion, was his prison-a place where the echoes of forgotten gods lingered. Here, time had no meaning, and yet, urgency coursed through his boundless form. The Shadow was awakening.
He cast his awareness outward, weaving through the fabric of reality. His essence touched the mortal world of Entheria, a land he had helped shape in the dawn of time. Once vibrant and whole, Entheria was now fractured, scarred by centuries of war and neglect. Its people had forgotten the old gods, relying instead on ambition, power, and fear to guide them. But in the depths of this broken world, Eryndor sensed a flicker of hope-a boy with a soul untainted by greed or corruption.
"Kael," he whispered, his voice threading through the boy's dreams. "Bearer of the Flame... you are my final hope."
The boy stirred, his subconscious brushing against Eryndor's essence. The connection was fragile, like a single strand of silk. Yet it was enough. The Whispering Flame, the source of all creation, had chosen its vessel. Now, all that remained was to guide the boy before the Shadow consumed everything.
Beyond the Veil, the Netherwrought stirred. A formless, sentient force, it pulsed with malice, sensing Eryndor's efforts. It laughed-a soundless, bone-chilling mockery that echoed across the void.
"Futile," it rasped, its presence a sickening distortion of light and sound. "The Flame will be mine, and your precious creation will unravel."
Eryndor did not respond. He could not. His power, once limitless, was now a faint ember. But even a faint ember could ignite a blaze.
With one final effort, he sent a surge of his will into the boy's mind, implanting a vision of what was to come: a tree ablaze with golden fire, its roots spreading across the universe. At its base, the boy stood, clutching a shard of light that pulsed with unimaginable power. Around him, shadows loomed, reaching, clawing, desperate to extinguish the Flame.
Kael would wake with no memory of the vision, only a lingering sense of unease. But the seeds had been sown. The Whispering Flame would rise again-or all of Entheria would fall into darkness.
