Chapter 1: The Beginning
Sometimes, you need to cry until no more tears flow. Shout until no sound is heard. Fall until you can’t get up anymore. Then everything will be fine after that. But if you’re still feeling unwell, at least the people around you know you need help.
That night...
On Sarlun Island. The largest and farthest island in the Bellsor Empire.
The night is quiet, and everyone seems to be asleep.
But Allynna Frost, a young girl who would soon turn seventeen, had not yet fallen asleep.
She sits on a dark blue sofa in her tiny red brick house, holding a thick black book. Books she rarely touched, let alone read: The History Of Bellsor Empire.
The only subject she found horrid and she consistently failed to get a perfect score on every test.
But in this final exam. Allynna was determined to face her fear. Her determination has made her start rereading this book. And, for the first time, reading the first page of this history book can make her adrenaline feel rushed.
As she pours her heart into it, something makes her interested in continuing to read this book.
This was strange because it was her first time feeling this way after so many years.
Allynna’s back rested casually on the sofa while her legs were crossed to support the weight of the book. Her eyes stared intently at the words until she lost track of time. It was as if she was pulled into a book.
