Act 1: Beyond the Light

## Beyond the Light Story

The Sky becomes bright as a falling shooting star falls down the Sky. The Night Sky became as bright as the Day and a loud crash can be heard from the Distance. Just beyond of the Great City Alkalanar, a Beacon of Light can be seen only for a moment. A moment however the Army of Alkalanar was not gone unnoticed. Alarmed, a Troop of Soldiers rally to the last Position of the Light Beacon, only to find a Crater and someone else: The Envoy. Not knowing of the Envoys Origin, they immediatly charge forward to arrest the Outsider. When the Envoy woke up, the Daytime has arrived and a Tall unkown Women stands before them: The Queen Elis of Alkalanar. Elis immediatly starts asking questions of who they are and what they want.

The Envoy however cant get out a single Word and so the Queen orders the Soldiers to arrest them deep into Dungeon of Alkalanar, a massive Prisonstructure beneath the City. Above however the War continues and while the King talks to his Council Members, they quickly realize that the Eden, is dying. One Council Member, Arella, implies that the Envoy has an unkown yet enormous Aura around them whom might be capable of curing the Eden of the Dark Magic. So the King decides to let free the Envoy and let them live, if they chose to help the Kingdom. The Envoy approves and starts their Journey to the Eden where Darkness awaits.

Once arrived at the Eden, it is quickly revealed that much more of the Land is already dead as formerly expected. From one point after another, the Eden are able to use their Magic to cure the Lands however, not to heal them once and for all. For that, they must find the Source of the Darkness, which lies beneath Eden. Going through the Dungeons of Eden, Arella realized that many Ancient Books of Forbidden Dark Spells are withdrawn. They also found out, that someone tried to communicate with someone else, someone of pure Terror and Darkness. They quickly follow the Traces which lead back to Alkalanar. Soon after, they uncover that the King was behind the Corruption of the Eden and was communicting to an ancient Being way before their Time. The King used Dark Magic to flee and let the whole Council speechless. As was the Queen who tried anything to safe the Eden, without Success however. The Eden died amd with it all Lifeforms in it. The Envoy has now gotten the Task to find more traces of the King which brought them deeper into the Dungeons of Alkalanar. Here they find long forgotten Cell Structures which are now home to a Nesting Place for Shadow Demons. Soon after they find the King, communicating with someone behind the Wall. The King dies after his Master told him so and thus released Carnage upon the City. This hasnt gone unnoticed, as the Arcanian Council arrives to destroy Alkalanar and the thriving Darkness with it. Arella however convinced them not to and was able to safe more Citizens. Before the Council was able to ashen the City, a Divine Explosion inside Arella awakens. Whilst the Envoy continues their Fight against the Shadow Demons, Arella halts the Council and protects the City whilst vanishing down into the Dungeon to find the Origin. She was able to close the Fracture of the Rift whilst she saw the Being that causes all of this: Azrail.

The Envoy wanders off to meet the Kingdom Garland. Knowing that their is a Realm beyond, Garland might have the Technology to enter such Realm. After helping the Kingdom with some minor Problems, the Garland Council decides that their best Technologists have to work with the Envoy. Whilst the Researchers try to find a way, Darkness spreads more rapidly. In an attempt to fight the Shadowbeast who is responsible for spreading the Plague, Arella aids the Envoy and defeat the Beast. From it's Heart, the Researchers are able to complile an unfinished and vague Map, which is key for Transportation. Finding out that the King was actualy talking with a Disciple of Azrail, called Navali, they also found out that she is the Gatekeeper of the Realm. The further the Envoy crawled deeper and unveiled more mysteries, the more Azrail became nervous as he wasnt ready yet for his Army to be released. After hard work, both the Ship and the Transportationsystems were ready. The Mapping to a possible Portal to the other Realm was finished and the Army of Garland and the Envoys started their Journey to this Realm. They did find a small fracture in the Cosmos and were able to open it and enter it. Inside they were stopped by the Gatekeeper Navali and were forced to fight against her. After the Big Battle, Navali realized that all that she is, is but being a Slave. She ultimately rips a Gate open to the Shadowrealm and lets them enter, an ultimate Action for her demize.

The Ship was destroyed by Azrail's Defenders and all were spread from each other. The Envoy meet an unkown Women who claims to know Azrail very well and that his Hunger for Power is insatiable. She made clear that they cannot stop him, nor will they be able to leave the Shadowrealm. She claims that she knows a Way out of this Realm, however she wont do anything unless they find a way to kill Azrail and give back her Powers as he drained them from her. The Envoy agrees and goes of to find a way to fight Azrail. Before they're able to get any closer to him, they'd have to kill his Guardians who are a direct Shield to his Castle. Once the four Guardians were defeated, the Shield was broken and the Castle is able to be attacked. A final Charge against the Shadowprince started but are halted by the Shadowprince himself. In his Form as a Shadowphoenix, he is nearly invulnurable, not invincible however. The Envoy was able to push him back to the Castle and push forward for their final Task: To Kill Azrail.

Inside the Castle, they're met with monstrous Beings of the Shadow and at the End: Azrail himself. A Great Battle was upon all, to decide what comes for the Future, the Envoy have no other Possibility than to kill Azrail. After a final gather of Strength, the Envoys were able to defeate Azrail and actualy kill him with a Relic of the Past: The Cosmodian Sword. His Death released all the Energy that he drained, especialy those from the Unkown Women. A Women that Azrail claimed to be his "Sister" called Egâ.

Egâ arrived at the Battlefield where Azrail draws his last Breath and vanishes after. She explaines the Shadowrealm to be a Prison to all Evil, constructed by a long forgotten Primordial Being called Ad'Ora. A failed attempt to capture the Cosmodians before the Great Rebirth. Egâ always knew of the Envoys Nature and only used them as her own Puppet, only to become free and to regain the Powers that were taken from her. Now knowing her true Powers, those inherited from the one that created the Envoys themself, she sworn Revenge and flies off to the Sky, ripping a Rift open while leaving everything behind.

Afte the Egâ vanished through the Sky, a shimmering Light appears on the lower Islands beneath the Battlefield. Arriving their, the Envoy finds Giants who are only skinned in flesh and can barely speak. One, who claims to be a good old friend, can barely explain that they have a Gift for the Traveler. Benath a simple Construction built by the Giants, there is a Relic of forgotten Times. It shines Bright and after a closer look, it appears to be some sort of Stone. The Envoy was able to touch it swiftly and brought it back outside. The Giants seemed to be feared of this Stone, yet they claim it to be their only possible way out of here. As the Giants are bond to this Place forver, only the Envoy would be able to use it to leave this Realm, however at an cost; To leave everyone behind that came with them.

After talking to those the Envoy came in with, they agreed that the Envoy must return back and seek the Arcanian Council for help and especially stop Egâ from annihilating anything. The Envoy said their final Goodbye's and used the mysterious Stone to open a Gate to exit the Shadowrealm. As only the User of the Stone may enter the Portal, it instantly vanishes again. The Stone however was kept in tact and was able to be used by the Envoy agian to travel back, not so soon though as they have a new Threat to be taken down: Egâ.
