The Kingdom of Ylyndar is situated to the west of Azlek Kingdom. Ruled and Populated by the High Elves. High Elves have long pointed ears, skin white as snow, and an average height of 7.6ft. The House of Amthir has ruled it since the creation of the High Elves. This Great House has the blood of Hades in them. This kingdom is known in the world as the Kingdom of Ylyndar.

Its current ruler Nevarth is a descendent of Amthir. High Elves live for at least 400 human years.

Nevarth has been a ruler for 153 years. He became King at the age of 22 when his father, King Estelar, died in one of the Great Wars. He also fought and lost one Great War, but he lived through it.

Normally a High Elf king will wage Four Great Wars in their rule. His father was killed in his fourth war in King Deimos’s hands, the Azlek Kingdom’s ruler at that time. Even after 152 years, he has not forgiven nor forgotten the House of Odysseus for killing his father.

As the news of High Elves preparing for war reaches other kingdoms, they also start preparing for the Great War to come.

The Azlek Kingdom, after King Feran crushing the revolts, had returned to peace, not even for a whole day when they heard this news. Right now, in the Intelligence Bureau all, there is chaos.

Commander Perseus is sitting on a chair in the Intelligence Bureau with a worried face. At the same time, the House of Odysseus sleeps peacefully.

He tries to reconfirm that what he just heard now is real.

“Castor, is this really true?”

He speaks to a man wearing a black cloak who is standing in front of him. The magical cloak hides the man’s face and age, and Commander Perseus calls this man Castor.

Castor puts his hand on his chest in front of the Commander to show his sincerity.

“Commander! What I have said is nothing but the truth.”

Commander Perseus gets even more anxious after hearing this, but he takes a deep breath and starts thinking.

“Do the other kingdoms know this too?”

Castor gives documents to Commander Perseus. These documents show that not only know that the Kingdom of Ylyndar is preparing for the Great War. But all the other Dark Kingdoms are preparing for the Great war too.

The Great War’s fear almost takes over Commander Perseus. Still, he suddenly gets calm because he knows that he cannot let the fear get to him as he commands all the kingdom’s armies. So he decides what to do.

“Tomorrow, I shall have an audience with the King, and I will tell him about our finding. Only he can decide what to do about this growing storm.”

Castor smiles as he sees that Commander Perseus is not trying to do everything by himself, unlike in the old days.

“As you order, Commander!”

The next morning, Adonis Drakos wakes up and does not recognize the place filled with daylight. As He Looks around, He sees a beautiful young maid sitting next to his bed. A young powerful-looking knight with yellow hairs wearing golden armor with House Isenburg’s symbol is guarding him.

As he sees this symbol, he remembers the knight who sacrificed his life for his mother and him. Seeing this symbol makes him think that this knight is related to that knight. Remembering the brave knight’s sacrifice makes him start crying.

When the knight sees the child crying, he immediately wakes up the maid.

“Maid Larisa, wake up! His Grace Adonis Drakos has wakened up.”

Larisa suddenly wakes up after hearing the loud noises of the knight and the child.

“Charon, what happened? Oh! Your Grace! You have awakened. You must be crying because you are thirsty. I apologize for not waking up earlier. I will feed you the milk now!”

Larisa takes the child from his bed and into her arms. Then she starts feeding him milk.

Adonis Drakos tries to reject to receive her milk again but is again talking over by the milk’s warmth and starts drinking naturally.

The knight seeing this, blushes and finds an excuse to leave the chambers.

“The Heir has wakened up! I shall find the maids and order them to tend to the heir.”

The wet-nurse seeing that the knight left the chambers, becomes very annoyed. She talks to Adnois even though she thinks that he cannot understand her.

“Your Grace! Knight Charon is very worrisome. I hope that he gets over this quickly.”

In the Throne Room, King Feran is sitting on his throne while Queen Medea is sitting on hers. Right Now, Commander Perseus is kneeling in front of them, both ready to give the emergency report.

King Feran has been anxious and angry since he came to the castle because he has not seen his children for four months. Still, he cannot see them because they are sleeping. The Commander had requested the King’s emergency presence to report something vital.

“Commander Perseus, You requested my presence to report something even though you know I have yet to see my own children. Please report what you have to say so I can go see them.”

Queen Medea knows that the King must be very anxious as he has not seen his children for four months, but she gets angry because the King wants to see them even though they are sleeping.

“MY HIGHNESS!!! The children are still sleeping. If you go there ignoring my warnings, then I will be forced to extend your punishment.”

King Feran realizes that what he said was wrong, so he tries not to focus on it until the report is finished.

“So, what do you want to report to me? What is so important that you dare make me anxious for my children for a longer time?

Commander Perseus knows the King’s pain, but the matter to report is so significant that he dares anger the King.

“My King! We have received troubling news that the High Elves are preparing for war.”

King Feran stands up from his throne with wrath and fury.

“WHAT!!! HOW DARE THEY! First, They try to assassinate us. Then they help nobles rebel against my Grand Dukes than they kill my brother, now they dare make this move and risk the wrath of the House of Odysseus.”

“Did my great-grandfather Deimos Hathwaye not shown great mercy to King Nevarth when he was our captive? It would have been better if my ancestor had killed him at the moment of his captive. But he acts mercifully and let Nevarth live. Had he known that Nevarth would act against us after becoming the High Elvish King, then he would not have let him live.”

“But sadly, he let him live, and now Nevarth acts against us after becoming King. It was not enough for him to help the nobles kill my brother now that he prepares to wage another Great War against us. This time I will be the one to attack, not like my ancestors who only defended our kingdom and called it a victory. Unlike my great-grandfather, I will not show mercy to them. They will be no forgiveness for their kind. This time there will be only death for all of them.”

“Commander! Send our envoys to our allies and the light races. Let them know that the time for us to be the ones to attack is coming soon. TELL THEM TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT GREAT WAR.”
