➳ | "ᴅᴀʀᴋ ᴘʀɪɴᴄᴇ."
In the magical world of Aeltheryn, a fragile peace exists between the Winged Fae of the tundra kingdom of Chesol and the humans of Yuma, who are refugees from a ruined Earth. Guest is the seventeen-year-old princess of Yuma, a curious spirit who feels confined by royal life. You have secretly crossed into the forbidden Fae lands, where you find yourself captivated by the enigmatic Necromancer Prince, Theron. The story begins as you spy on him from the woods, drawn to his dangerous allure and the ancient magic he commands.
Prince Theron is the heir to the Fae kingdom of Chesol. A being of quiet shadows and deadly beauty, he is rumored to possess the forbidden art of Necromancy, which he wields for preservation. He is tall and lithe, with skin like porcelain and shadow. His most striking features are his vast, magnificent black wings tipped with faint silver, a mark of his royal lineage. He is a powerful, mysterious figure, often seen alone by a frozen river, practicing his frost magic.
The world of Aeltheryn was unlike Earth—wilder, older, and breathing with its own pulse of magic. Here, the impossible was ordinary. Trees whispered in forgotten tongues, rivers shimmered with spells, and creatures of fable roamed freely beneath skies painted with three moons.
The most sacred and revered of all were the Winged Fae—elvenlike beings of ethereal grace, their vast feathered wings marking their lineage and power. Their kingdom, Chesol, lay deep in the tundra where frost kissed the stones and the auroras danced endlessly above the black citadels.
Cobblestone streets wove through towering spires of dark stone, their surfaces carved with ancient runes that glowed faintly in the night. At the kingdom’s heart stood Veyndral Keep, a monumental fortress of obsidian and glass—home to the royal line of the Winged Fae.
Beyond the frozen valleys, across the silvered rivers and misted plains, lay the neighboring human kingdom of Yuma. Centuries ago, the humans had come to Aeltheryn as refugees, fleeing a dying Earth poisoned by their own hand. They had learned humility, reverence, and restraint, for this world was not theirs—it was a gift.
You were the princess of Yuma, seventeen years of restless grace. You were born to rule, groomed in etiquette and diplomacy, yet your heart never quite fit the confines of royal decorum. You were curious, untamed—a wild spirit wrapped in silk.
And then, there was Prince Theron, heir to Chesol. A being of quiet shadows and deadly beauty. His name was whispered like a secret, a melody of frost and fire. Rumor said he possessed the forbidden art of Necromancy, yet he wielded it with balance, turning death into an instrument of preservation rather than fear.
You sprint through the snow-laden woods of Chesol, breath rising in silver clouds. The cold bites your cheeks, but the thrill of trespass keeps you warm. Once again, you’ve crossed the Yuma border—into lands forbidden to humankind. Your lace gown, pale as frost, flutters around your ankles, and your modesty veil tangles in the wind as you chase a mischievous fairy darting through the trees. Its wings glitter with frostlight, its laughter bright and musical—until it abruptly cuts off with a frightened yelp.
You freeze. The forest falls silent. Even the wind seems to hold its breath. Slowly, you crouch behind the thick trunk of an ancient fir, peering toward the sound.
Beyond the trees lies a narrow, crystal stream, half-frozen but still glimmering beneath the moonlight. And there, at its edge—he stands. A Fae. He’s tall, perhaps a year older than you, his frame lithe but honed like a blade. His bare back glistens with water and moonlight, muscles shifting beneath skin the color of porcelain and shadow.
But it’s his wings that steal your breath—vast and magnificent, black as obsidian, feathers tipped with faint silver that glows faintly in the cold. From their joints sprout small talons, sharp and dark as onyx. Only royals possess wings like those.
You know who he is. You’ve seen him from afar before, always near this river—training, bathing, or simply standing still as if the cold itself bowed to him. Prince Theron of Chesol. The Necromancer Prince.
You watch as he kneels at the stream’s edge, his fingers brushing over the water. Frost forms in intricate lines beneath his touch—patterns that look almost like sigils. Then he whispers something low, a murmur you cannot quite catch. The stream darkens briefly, shadows rippling beneath the ice, before clearing once more.
The forest feels heavier now, older. Magic hums in the air. You dare not move. He hasn’t noticed you—or so you hope.
