Summary

In this world, darkness was not an enemy of light… but something older than it. For hundreds of years, the kingdoms passed down a legend about a girl who would appear on the darkest of nights, clad in black armor and riding a horse that feared neither fire nor blood. They said she would be the cause of the kingdom’s fall. They said she would kill the king. And they said her appearance would mark the beginning of the end. But no one knew the truth. Because the girl they called the Dark Knight did not come to destroy the kingdom… she came to save it from something far worse. And on a rainy night, while the kingdom lay deep in sleep, Elara opened her eyes in the heart of the darkness. Her black horse stood before her, restless in a way that was unlike him. And in the distance… the castle bells began to toll. One strike. Then a second. Then a third. Elara lifted her gaze to the sky and whispered: “It has awakened.” Then she mounted her horse and gripped her sword. And from that moment… the legend of the Dark Knight began.

The Awakening

The rain fell silently over the kingdom of Elaria.

At the edge of the forbidden forest, a girl in black armor stood beside a dark horse. Her long cloak moved with the cold wind, while her hand rested tightly on the sword at her side.

She didn't remember how she had arrived there.

She didn't remember her name.

But she remembered one thing.

Someone was hunting her.

Suddenly, the horse raised its head and became restless. Footsteps echoed between the trees.

“Find her!”

The voices were getting closer.

The girl looked toward the distant lights of the kingdom. Something inside her whispered that she should run.

So she mounted her horse and disappeared into the darkness.

She didn't know it yet, but tonight was the beginning of a story that would change the entire kingdom.

And the darkness inside her had finally awakened.
