WSA 2025 ENTRY

In the Grand Land of Baltalaha, the Awakening Ceremony is the most anticipated event of the year, where 15-year-olds from across the kingdoms discover their innate powers. Morvane, an orphan raised by a healer grandmother, eagerly joins the celebration with his best friends, Luna and Esmael, each dreaming of the abilities that will shape their destinies.

As rulers from the six kingdoms display their awe-inspiring powers, the arena buzzes with excitement and wonder. One by one, children receive marks signifying their newfound abilities, the crowd erupting in cheers with each display of elemental magic, healing, and unique gifts.

However, when it’s Morvane’s turn, silence falls over the arena. No mark appears on his shoulder. Confusion ripples through the crowd, and Morvane’s heart sinks. In a moment meant to define his future, he faces an unimaginable question: What does it mean to have no power in a world where everyone else awakens?

Unbeknownst to all, Morvane’s fate is tied to a mystery that could reshape the balance of Baltalaha forever.

Morvane stood frozen, his mind racing with the flood of revelations that had just unraveled before him. He stared at the ancient scroll in Crimson's hands, its intricate symbols and cryptic words still fresh in his mind. His hand moved on its own, reaching out toward the scroll.

The moment his fingertips brushed the surface, an eerie chill spread through the room. The scroll reacted instantly, slipping from Crimson's grip and hovering in midair. Its once-faded parchment darkened, turning pitch black, while the ancient symbols and writings glowed a foreboding red.

"What in the world—?" Crimson muttered, gripping his twin katanas tightly as his crimson eyes widened in shock.

Medas, who stood mere steps away, tensed. "Morvane! Get back!" he shouted, rushing to shield him.
