In the kingdom of Kalórã, the realm of the High Elves, the air was thick with magic. Tall, ancient trees stretched toward the heavens, their roots entwining with the earth in a network that kept the land in balance. The World Tree stood at the heart of Kalórã, a symbol of the Elves’ deep connection with nature. It was said to be the source of their spiritual power, providing guidance to those who sought wisdom.

Among the Elves was Yuri, a young and promising scholar of the spiritual arts. He spent his days studying under the guidance of the Elders, learning to commune with the elements, heal the land, and unlock the secrets hidden in the earth. His dream was to become a renowned spiritualist, someone who could shape the future of his people through his connection with the natural world.

Yet, despite his studies and training, Yuri often felt an unease in his heart. The visions had started weeks ago—strange glimpses of the World Tree trembling, its great roots cracking, as though something dark were coming to disturb the balance of the world. At first, he dismissed them as mere dreams, but as the visions became more frequent and vivid, Yuri knew he could no longer ignore them.

One evening, as the sun set behind the peaks of Kalórã, Yuri stood in a sacred glade near the World Tree, his hands resting on the bark of an ancient oak. He closed his eyes and reached deep into the magic of the land, seeking answers.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

The winds whispered through the leaves, and then a voice, faint but clear, echoed in his mind: *The time of heroes is nigh.*

Yuri’s eyes snapped open, and he staggered back, his heart racing. He knew this was no ordinary vision. The voice had come from the heart of the World Tree itself.

Shaken, Yuri sought out Elder Lys, the wisest and most revered spiritualist in Kalórã. He found her deep in meditation, surrounded by the glowing light of the forest’s magic.

"Elder Lys," Yuri said, his voice urgent, "I’ve had a vision. The World Tree… it trembles. Something is coming."

Elder Lys opened her eyes slowly, studying Yuri with a gaze that seemed to pierce through him. "The balance is indeed threatened," she said softly. "The world stirs, and the time has come for those destined to stand against the coming darkness."

Yuri felt his heart quicken. "What must I do?"

"You must seek the others," Lys said. "You will not face this alone. The heroes of old will rise again. The fate of Andouré depends on the strength of those who are willing to unite."

With those words, Yuri’s path became clear. The voice of the World Tree had spoken, and Yuri knew he could not ignore the call. He had to find the others—the dreamers, the warriors, the knights, and the mages who would help him protect the land.
