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.

SPIRITBINDER: The Boy Without A Mark

Morvane made his decision without hesitation. "I'm going with Luna to Ketamran."

Lady Vianna frowned, concern flashing in her eyes. "But Morvane, you're banished there. You can't just enter and exit whenever you want. Medas tightened the gates—it won't be easy."

"Don't worry," she added after a brief pause, "I'll come with you tomorrow. But today, I have something I need to take care of."

Morvane shook his head. "There's no time. I have to go now."

And with that, he and Luna set off.

Slipping through the gates of Ketamran proved easier than expected. Under the cover of darkness, Morvane kept his identity hidden, his cloak pulled low over his face. The city pulsed with an eerie silence, a sharp contrast to the destruction that awaited them.
