Awakenings: The Rise of an Empire

     For centuries Etolis, the immortal realm-maintained peace and tranquility throughout the land. An alliance was created centuries ago between the ruling families to maintain a peaceful balance. Word traveled across the land of the impending births of the next generation of rulers. It was foretold by the high priestess that these children would be more powerful than any before them. Amid their celebrations, they began preparations for a future alliance that would develop between two of the ruling families.  The alliance made it a goal to protect the future of each child from the threat of the Jaegar clan. When rouge attacks began to rise and cross into the realm borders from the dark forest.

It was the one choice that would cause them all great despair, but the only choice that would save their lives.  Queen Keba watched her husband as he circled the room.      “Alois,” she called wearily, “we must decide,” He looked at Keba his mate, his guide through this immortal life, and knew that he never wanted to see the look of helplessness in her beautiful brown eyes.  Slowly he walked over to her side,       “We will make a decision soon.” He answered heavily…………
