| The time of the Dark One has passed, ended by the heroism of Raducan, now renowned as both damnor and savior of this new age. However, there is a new threat looming over Sylfe. The Dark One left his taint on the lifestream, the magical force that connects all living things and blankets the entirety of Sylfe.
The lattice has fallen into the hands of the deranged sorceror Merun Al'Caar, who believes he is a God. Using this absolute power over the inhabitants of Sylfe, he has solidified humanity's dominance over the races of the Old Age. Under the misguidance of his "Triune Church," mankind and a few converts from elder races are converting the lands into what they see as "paradise" while paving the way for Merun's transcension of his human body.
In the sky, the Grim Moon looms over the lands, a sign of the Convergence, a sign of the coming end of times. Just what role the denizens of Sylfe will play in this coming end is yet unclear. In the ravaged world of Ehvin, an ancient malevolence is once again stirring. The Maelstrom, an unnatural storm born from warring energies left behind by Ehvin's cataclysmic past is beginning to make itself manifest again. In the shadow of Ehvin's rifts, the Epimandu, vile creatures with even viler intentions are beginning to rouse from their sleep.
The Reven are growing restless and they are putting out the call for even more Spark bearers, creatures born with a natural affinity for magic. The Reven are beings of great power, but this power came at a price, they could not leave the rifts unless they found their bonded partners who can only be individuals carrying sparks. These Reven are the polar opposite of the Epimandu, they are as much a cause for the Maelstrom as they are a solution for it.
The Grim Moon also casts its shadow over Ehvin and the Convergence is doing nothing to aid in the quelling of the unnatural tempest. The tides are changing and chaos is on the horizon. Ëthan was once a land of divine beauty, where the cycle of nature was gracefully long, and each season could take more than two decades. Ruled by the Ayalla, special beings chosen among the mortals, the harmony of this seasons lasted through millenia, and could run forever... if it wasn't the sin of selfishness. The fear of death, the eminence of oblivion, can be too much, even for the divine entities. This is the dark point, when even the best intentions, dreams and feelings, can be corrupted. Even the power of love... After centuries under the power of an endless Winter, mortals are reuniting to fight back the tyranny; a strugle between eternity and mortality. Could they cultivate generosity enough to fight the egotism, or are they just trying to fulfill their own desire? Who is the new avatar of order...or chaos? This is a roleplay by Kyrion.

| “Truly, nothing is eternal... All things fade in the passage of time... Arrogance, humility... Good, evil... They all fade... But LOVE... LOVE is eternal... It leaves a great scar when one sees his loved one depart...
However, what if you were immortal, unlike everyone else? Would you be able to stand by as you see your loved ones vanish before your very eyes? Would you be able to see the world through clear vision? Would you be able to live?”
Hahahahahaha!! Finally, I can be immortal!!
But, but... Noah, are you sure?
Yes, dear... I’m sure...
HAHAHAHA!! I AM IMMORTAL!!
True, human greed is the most powerful driving force on the planet... Is one truly going to be able to throw away his love, his family and his life for immortality?
Mia?! Mia?!?! Why?! Why did they kill you?!
AGHHH!!!
I have to die... I want to join her!
Why? I slit my throat and wrist... The blood loss is tremendous... why can’t I die?
This! This is the cause of my suffering!! No one can know about this! Immortality is a curse!!!
Immortality can be a blessing... But it is a curse! Who wants to live his life in the absence of family?! The absence of the assurance that death brings?! WHO?!
Why, hello there li’l fella. Who brought you here?
What is a little dove doing in front of my door? Why, what is that? A letter?
Noah, I knew that soon, my death would come...
I want you to keep this dove company...
She was mine, she was the friend I told you about long ago...
She was supposed to be my christmas gift...
By the time you read this, I will be gone...
Keep her safe...
-Mia
Oh Mia!...
Luckily, some care for us... Luckily, people love us... We can’t live without them... They are our lives... They represent all we fight for... But, what happens if we lose what we fight for? What happens if our reason for existence is snuffed out? Will we be able to live with our immortality?
It’s been years since Mia departed...
You’ve been my best friend...
You’re the only thing I live for now...
I don’t want to let her down...
*chirp*
You are always there...
*bang*
Officer! What is this about?
...
*Gunshot*
Little friend! Why?! Why?!
Why...?
I have no more reason to live! Lord, take away this curse!
Forgive my sin! I no longer want to be immortal!
I was greedy... I was selfish...
I did not realize...
I want to die...
The Lord God will hear our pray’r... Just as he heard Noah’s... For he died peacefully, beside the beloved dove that he had cherished... It was a gift given by his wife... He had treasured it... Kept it all those years... Only that it was taken from him, in a flash... Just like his wife...
He last all purpose... all motivation... and God saw that he truly repented and forgave him... He took Noah into his loving embrace... So that he could meet the love of his life... The love that he had lost for years... Now reunited with him...
To his surprise... the dove he had kept flitted onto God’s shoulder... And he realized that it was the Holy Spirit all along...
