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 eerie silence that followed Esmael's chilling words was heavy with disbelief. "I won," he had whispered, but the weight of his victory hung like a curse over the hall.

The blue dimension dissolved, and they were back in the grand palace hall. The walls gleamed under the flickering torches, but the atmosphere was thick with tension and shock.

Drevon rushed toward Eliad's mutilated body. "Eliad!" he shouted, dropping to his knees. But as soon as he reached him, Eliad's remains crumbled into ash, scattering into the air.

"No..." Drevon's voice cracked with pain as the ashes slipped through his fingers. Eliad, the demon who had once stood by him, was gone—completely erased from existence.

Takeshi clapped his hands slowly, his smirk wide. "Congratulations, Esmael," he declared, his voice dripping with satisfaction. "You've done what many couldn't. You claimed victory over a demon of the dark realm."
