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 garden of Ketamran was serene, a sanctuary of vibrant flowers and gentle winds carrying the fragrance of blossoms. Morvane sat on a marble bench beneath a sprawling tree, lost in thought. Despite the tranquil beauty around him, a storm raged within his soul. The weight of his newfound powers pressed heavily on his chest—spiritbinder magic, the chaotic force of demonic power, and the divine radiance of angelic energy. They were all there, swirling inside him like an untamed tempest, yet he felt disconnected from their true potential.

He sighed, his fingers tracing invisible patterns on the smooth stone beneath him. His gaze wandered to the place where Hiraya's spirit once lingered. That ethereal presence had been a guiding light during his darkest moments. Now, with her gone, a void remained.

"I wonder if you're reborn now, Hiraya," Morvane whispered, his voice heavy with longing. "I hope you are."
