Bridging Worlds: Book 1 Celestoria's Time
Grim Alliance

-Grim Waste-

Vernit, the authoritative leader, turned to his men and commanded, “Release her.” His subordinates, swift to follow orders, hastened to unbind Rosche, setting her free from the constraints that had held her captive.

As the metallic constraints fell away, Vernit approached Rosche, a solemn expression on his face. The air hung heavy with the weight of unspoken truths. In the ensuing conversations, Vernit elucidated the complexities of his life, unraveling the web of discord between himself and his brother, Elysum. Rosche absorbed the revelations with a mix of curiosity and concern.

In the ensuing conversation, Rosche revealed her real name, confessing, “Actually, my name is not Eowyn. It’s Rosche; I did this to protect myself.” Vernit and Rojan, understanding the depth of her secrecy, listened with concern.

On the opposite end, Elysum, who had been exiled, earnestly contemplated the means to enact retribution upon his brother.

Suddenly, an elusive voice, lacking any discernible form, addressed him, “Do you harbor the desire to seek revenge against your brother? Is it your intention to subject him to the consequences of the affronts he has directed towards you?” Elysum rose to his feet, surveying his surroundings as he demanded, “Who are you? Reveal yourself!”

“I am The Dark Entity of this realm. If you pledge your allegiance to me, I will assist you in achieving your desires,” the voice declared.

Elysum, momentarily taken aback, questioned, “But hasn’t the Council of 12 and Ithilien already destroyed you, haven’t they?”

The Dark Entity chuckled. “They merely succeeded in destroying my physical form. True annihilation eludes them. My power transcends their imagination, and I can bestow upon you any conceivable desire if you align yourself with me.”

Elysum hesitated momentarily, caught in the dilemma of forging a pact with a malevolent force and the obscured judgment fueled by profound resentment. Ultimately, propelled by his intense vindictiveness, he concurred, articulating, “I seek the power to subject my brother to suffering.” The Dark Entity laughed triumphantly, having effectively swayed Elysum by exploiting his craving for power and retribution.
