Novella - En Glory of Her Light
Added 2024-12-30 23:33:09 +0000 UTC
A solid country built on faith that was transported to a corrupted world teetering on the brink of corruption, Gideon Solaryn, a steadfast Templar of the Sanctum Dominion, is a beacon of belief and fire.
Tasked with defending humanity's last bastions against the encroaching darkness of the Shadowlands, he wields the light of Altheria with unyielding resolve. But when a mysterious girl, Kaela, emerges from the veiled mists, cloaked in divine radiance and shadowed whispers, Gideon’s faith faces its greatest trial from his beloved goddess.
Kaela claims no place in this sacred realm. Coming from a mysterious place called Earth, with a rebellious streak and a past steeped in familial scars, she is as baffled by her arrival as some of the Dominion leaders are suspicious of her presence. Her connection to the Abyssal forces threatens to sow discord in a land totally devoted to their faith and unravel what Gideon and his squad fight to maintain.
As corruption surges and an ancient foe rises, Gideon must navigate a treacherous path—one that tests the limits of his faith. Together, they uncover harrowing truths beyond the veil of darkness that surrounds the Sanctum Dominion since their arrival in this Eldritch world three decades prior, and the sacrifices required to protect a fractured world.
Faith clashes with doubt. Light intertwines with darkness. In the face of annihilation, the greatest battle may be choosing what to believe in. Will the light endure, or will the shadow consume all?
This is a tale of redemption, courage, and the power of unshakable faith that endures when all else falls to ruin.
--------------------------
"Right outside the walls of the shining keep,
Where the shadow crawls and the lost ones weep,
We hold this ground with faith so steep,
This is Altheria's dominion.
We pray for light and thank Her when it’s rising,
It burns the dark and keeps hope surviving,
We raise our hands to the skies,
And that's why we fight for Her dominion.
I saw the flame in a sunrise,
Blazing high as we stood on the battleground’s line,
Sanctified by the fire and the sound of Her calling,
Saved by the faith that’s never stalling.
Shadows whisper in the winds, but it’s Heaven-bound,
The void came to conquer but it won't hold the ground,
This is Altheria's dominion.
We wield the light and guard ‘til the night breaks,
Stand as one with every vow we take,
And we’ll rise again,
‘Cause we’re proud to walk in Her dominion.
I don’t care how my story ends,
Or what will come when the battle bends,
When it’s my time, I’ll defend again,
For Altheria's dominion.
We are Her light, Her chosen flame,
Each step forward bears Her name,
Through the shadows, we proclaim,
This is Altheria's dominion."
