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

The journey back to Luna's village was a quiet one, filled with the heavy silence of loss. She came home right after Meira's funeral.

The road stretched out before her, winding through the familiar landscape of her homeland, but Luna's mind was far away. She couldn't stop thinking about Meira—the angel who had touched her life so briefly, yet so profoundly. Every step felt like a weight pressing on her chest, the absence of Meira's gentle presence a constant ache.

She remembered the first time they met—the way Meira had looked at her with an ethereal grace, as if she didn't belong to this world. The way her kindness shone through in every word, every gesture. Meira had been more than just a friend to Luna; she had been a light in a dark world, a beacon of hope that Luna hadn't realized she needed until she was gone.
