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's heart began to pound in his chest, the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end as he realized who—or rather, what—it was. His eyes widened in shock, the air around him growing heavier as the shadow's figure solidified. The stance, the colors, and the posture were unmistakable. The silhouette was so eerily familiar that it sent a cold shiver crawling up his spine.</p>

<p>"Drevon?" Morvane whispered, his voice trembling, though he tried to mask the fear creeping into his chest.</p>
