Magic was more than just a talent in Eldoria, it was essential to survival and living. For those who possessed it, their strength and mastery over the magic determined whether they would succeed or fail. Zareth Drauthar and his twin brother Kael Drauthar, both now fifteen and about to undergo their first magical ascension, stood at the this harsh world.
Their father, Mordred Drauthar, had been preparing them for this day since they were young. Mordred was ruthless guy with strict determination and uncompromising discipline who felt that only through unrelenting adversity and sacrifice could one achieve what they want. His techniques were harsh but successful in hardening the lads' spirits and minds. As a lesson in mental toughness and detachment, Zareth and Kael were made to kill their pet when they were just eight years old.
Zareth and Kael each had their own dog. Zareth killed his dog without a second thought . Kael on the other hand couldn't do it. Mordred said "Killing is a part of life in this world it is necessary for your survival you should be ready to kill anyone if necessary for your survival that is the lesson my father have engraved in my mind when I was young. KILL OR BE KILLIED" . Kael killed his dog and gave out a cry.
Zareth and Kael when 12 years old were cut down on their food supply and forced to live by only getting healed every 2 days for 3 months while undergoing extreme physical training. and forced to amputate themselves and healed again and again for a month when they were 13 years old. All this is to build their mental strength. But Zareth was becoming something beyond human.
From a young age Zareth was a genius compared to Kael he had an intelligence of an adult when he was only 4 years old he started reading books about various types of magic at that age while Kael was only a normal child.

The Drauthar estate, a fortress of stone and was in the dense, forests of Ailoria. The surrounding lands were a testament to the untamed beauty and danger that Eldoria. Towering trees whispered secrets through their leaves, and magical creatures roamed freely, both marvelous and menacing.
Mordred's voice rang with authority as the training grounds were illuminated by mottled light from the early sun peeking through the canopy. "Today is a significant day in your path. You will face the worries you have, face your inner spirits and either come out stronger or be overcome by your weaknesses.
The training grounds were with runes, Mordred led his sons to the center of a ritual circle, its power palpable in the air. "Your first magic ascension requires a sacrifice—a fragment of your very soul. Only through this will you unlock the true potential within."
Zareth and Kael made a cut in their hand, letting drops of blood fall onto the circle. The ground trembled as the ritual commenced, shadows swirling around them, whispering secrets of the Arcane. The pain was excruciating, a searing fire that threatened to consume his very being. Yet, through the agony, Kael and Zareth felt a surge of raw energy, a connection to the primal forces of Eldoria.
