Fifteen years ago, under the dim light of the moon, the entire Green Kingdom was silent. The river's waves lapped calmly at the shores while the air carried the fragrance of flowers from the forest. But the silence was abruptly broken by the sound of hurried footsteps and fierce shouts that reached the Elves' ears.
In the midst of the chaos, a large and fierce figure walked toward the grand marble doors of the palace. This was Damos, the Goblin Lord, the nightmare of every being in Hidden Realm.
"Time to erase the Elves!" Damos shouted, his eyes full of malice. "Burn everything, destroy their homes, and kill anyone who stands in our way!" He wielded his powerful chain, the metal links glowing with a sickly green light.
In an instant, chaos erupted. The goblins swiftly attacked the Elves' homes, destroying everything in their path.
A goblin wielding an axe approached an old Elf woman who stood defenseless in her doorway. Without hesitation, he swung the axe at her neck, severing it in one brutal move. Blood splattered on the ground, and the old woman's body fell in front of her family, now trembling with fear. The goblin then beheaded each family member one by one, their screams cut short by the flash of his blade.
As the attack continued, the goblins spread fire throughout the town. Homes that were once filled with joy were now burning, the flames consuming the memories of happier times. A young Elf sobbed as he clutched the body of his deceased mother. Before he could finish crying, a goblin approached and mercilessly dragged him away from her body, throwing him into the raging fire. His screams joined the symphony of agony that filled the night.
Inside the palace, Queen Hania and King Niro gathered their Elf warriors, hoping to find a way to fend off the enemy. But before they could devise a plan, the Goblin Lord shattered the grand palace doors with his mighty chain.
"Cowardly Elves, you have no place in this world!" he yelled as he stepped inside.
The palace warriors tried to fight back, but they couldn't even get close before being struck down by Damos's sharp chain, their limbs severed like meat on a butcher's block. One by one, their bodies fell, blood covering the marble floor in widening pools.
In the palace chamber, the sound of falling bodies and the smell of blood weighed heavily in the air. Queen Hania and King Niro exchanged a determined glance despite the horrific scene around them.
"It's time to show him the true power of Green Kingdom," Queen Hania said, her eyes blazing with anger.
King Niro agreed. "We will not succumb to such evil."
Damos, with a mocking smile on his face, stepped toward the throne. "This is your end."
But before Damos could approach, Queen Hania raised her hand and began chanting an ancient incantation.
"Luminescenta Ignis!"
Suddenly, the surroundings were engulfed in bright flames, wrapping around Damos's body. But the Goblin Lord only smiled, brushing off the fire as if it had no effect on him.
While Damos was busy dispelling the flames, King Niro drew his sword, glowing with a blue light. "Don't be complacent, Damos!"
"Slasher!"
A powerful gust of wind burst from his sword, striking Damos and throwing him back several meters. But Damos quickly got up, laughing wickedly.
"Fools! No one can defeat me!"
In the midst of the battle, Queen Hania and King Niro joined hands, combining their powers. Their eyes shone brightly, signaling a higher form of magic.
"In the name of Green Kingdom, we will not let you succeed!" they shouted together.
"Celestial Storm!"
From their hands emerged a massive tornado accompanied by lightning, striking Damos with full force. The surroundings were enveloped in black light, and the wind howled with the power of the energy. Amidst the chaos, the Elves saw Damos's body outside the palace darkening and turning to ash.
But before he completely vanished, a grin appeared on his lips.
"This is not the end, Queen Hania... King Niro..."
The Elves' cries of relief echoed around as Damos's cruel laughter resounded in the air. The King and Queen leaped from the palace heights to witness the Goblin Lord's disappearance, but upon reaching the ground, a cruel chain wrapped around their bodies with impossible speed.
"Watch your King and Queen burn alive," Damos said, suddenly appearing in front of the Elves, completely unharmed. He pulled the chain, forcing the rulers to kneel before their subjects.
Horror rippled through the crowd, their most powerful spell had failed. Damos had survived.
At the edge of the scene, a young elf girl with silver hair—Hanan, the twelve-year-old daughter of the King and Queen, cried while holding her newborn sibling, Bruwa. Hanan's eyes couldn't believe the brutal scene unfolding before her.
"No... please!" she whispered, her voice trembling with fear.
But Damos showed no mercy. In an instant, he unleashed a great fire from his hand.
In their final moments, Queen Hania and King Niro looked at each other, their eyes filled with love and desperate hope that their sacrifice would inspire their people.
"We love you, Hanan... Bruwa," Queen Hania whispered before the flames consumed them.
Their screams echoed around, filling all of Green Kingdom with sorrow and grief. The smell of burning flesh mixed with the air as Hanan's tears fell down her cheeks, the horrific scene forever seared into her memory.
The remaining Elves wept as they watched their leaders burn alive, their hearts filled with hatred and sadness.
Hanan, with a new purpose in her heart, tightly embraced her sibling Bruwa, her eyes full of a vow for revenge. "We will return here, Bruwa. I promise, I will avenge Mother and Father," she whispered, her voice filled with determination and anger.
"We have no hope left. The King and Queen are dead... The goblins will surely do the same to us," a worried Elf said.
Damos approached the young Elf, his eyes blazing with malice. "There is a way for you not to meet the same fate as those two," he said, his voice deep and full of spite. "You will become slaves of the goblins. You will follow every order we give. Anyone who attempts to defy will be killed in front of everyone."
