The Rainmaker’s Curse

In Eldham, every boy unlocks his elemental power on Awakening Day — a sacred rite passed down for generations. Kael Terrowyn, the youngest son of a proud earth-wielding family, was meant to follow the same path. Everyone believed the stone would choose earth for him too. But Kael’s moment came and went, and nothing happened. Until the skies darkened. A rain fell — sudden, cold, unnatural. And as it poured, people began to die. But not just anyone — only those who had taken innocent lives in secret. The village panicked. They called Kael cursed, marked by death. His father banished him. His brother said nothing. His people turned their backs. Left alone in the storm, Kael fled into the unknown, broken and afraid. But the rain never left him. As he wandered the wilds, he uncovered the truth: the rain wasn't a curse. It was a gift — one that answered only to him. It judged. It remembered. And it protected. Years passed. Now, Eldham faces a new threat — a fire so fierce it could burn everything to ash. The village has only one hope: the boy they cast out. Kael returns, rain at his side, but forgiveness does not come easy. Saving them means giving up his peace… and facing the pain he buried long ago. But that’s only the beginning. When the king of the realm falls to a deadly curse, only the forbidden waters of the Abyss Echoes can save him — waters hidden deep in a place where no one returns. Once again, they turn to Kael. Now, with the rain whispering secrets and the past chasing him at every step, Kael must decide: will he save the kingdom that once betrayed him, or let it drown in its own sins? The Rainmaker’s Curse is a story of pain, power, and the quiet strength it takes to walk through the storm — even when the storm is part of you.
