Bridging Worlds: Book 1 Celestoria's Time

Chapter Abyssal Ambitions



Elysum, driven by his insatiable desires, articulated his fervent wishes to the dark entity that lingered in the shadows. “I wish for the Darkbanes to instill fear and possess the power to challenge the entire realm of Arantle,” he declared with unwavering determination. The dark entity, a sinister force amused by Elysum’s ambitious greed, couldn’t help but admire the depth of his aspirations. It chuckled ominously, recognizing a kindred spirit in the pursuit of power. “If power is your pursuit,” it intoned with a cryptic wisdom, “you must journey to Verdant Spire.”

Perplexed by this enigmatic suggestion, Elysum furrowed his brow and voiced his confusion. “Verdant Spire? I thought that place collapsed ages ago. What lies there that can grant me such power?”

In response, the dark entity, with an air of eerie calmness, divulged the truth. “The perception of Verdant Spire’s collapse is an illusion. Bring this.” With a wave of its shadowy hand, a mysterious box materialized, and Elysum accepted it cautiously, his curiosity piqued. “What is this?” he inquired.

The dark entity, shrouded in darkness, explained the nature of the box. “Inside is a magical smoke that dispels the illusion. Within Verdant Spire lie sacred artifacts blessed by the gods, potent enough to vanquish anyone, including the 12 Council of Arantle.”

Elysum, elated by this revelation, sought further clarification on the dark entity’s motives. “Why share this knowledge with me?” The entity responded in a tone as dark as its presence, “To attain power, you must first demonstrate your loyalty.”

Seizing the opportunity to bind Elysum to its sinister machinations, the dark entity revealed a nefarious plan. “At this very moment, the King’s brother is en route to avenge their fallen soldiers, heading towards your brother’s territory. Seize this opportunity to sow discord between the Darkbanes and Celestoria. Assassinate the King’s brother, framing your own kin, and witness as their enmity becomes irreparable.” Elysum, his heart throbbing with anticipation, relished the malevolent scheme and smiled with satisfaction, prepared to set his revenge into motion, unaware of the impending darkness that would shroud Arantle.
