Chapter Eight: The Winds of Prophecy

Back in the cursed land of Girar, the wave of magic that had emanated from Overa rippled through the very fabric of existence. It was a subtle shift at first, but one that quickly grew undeniable. The creatures of Girar—twisted, corrupted, bound by the curse—felt it. The humans who had long been oppressed, hopeless and broken, sensed something new in the air. Even King Sola, ensconced in his dark citadel, felt the tremor in the magic.

The wind that carried the old magic from Overa swept through the land, gentle at first but gathering strength as it moved, touching every corner of Girar. For those long chained by the curse, the wind carried whispers of hope, a reminder of what once was—a life before the corruption had taken hold.

But for King Sola’s army, the wind brought only fear.
