Flame consumes the sky, the earth trembles. Across a battlefield strewn with the fallen, a rider moves slowly. His cloak drinks the mud and blood. The mask severs humanity, leaving only a single black eye to regard the world. This is Hwang Hyunjin, the Emperor of Darkness. Mages retreat. In his presence, magic goes still. He is locked in a bitter feud with Sunjune, brother to Felix. Yet now his gaze falls on Felix—the gentle prince touched by nature's magic. Felix smiles at a flower, unaware of the approaching steps. And in Hyunjin's dark eye, a white light flares.
