Chapter 1: PROLOGUE
The air crackled with magic, a symphony of light and shadow. The Maharlika Guild, a bastion of power, echoed with the cheers of the Siles and the hushed whispers of the Gifted. But amidst the spectacle, a young man named Raine Giacomazzi, a being of immense power cloaked in the guise of a teenage boy, stood on the precipice of a destiny he never sought.
"Protect them, Celestial Knight Queen," a woman's voice, filled with grief and hope, whispered in his ear. "It is your destiny."
He was a Celestial Knight Queen, a summoner of ancient spirits, a wielder of magic that could bend the very fabric of reality. Yet, he walked among mortals, a secret hidden beneath a veil of innocence. His silver hair, a cascade of moonlight, and his eyes, pools of molten silver, held a depth that belied his youthful facade.
But the whispers of the hidden kingdom, a place where a silver-haired Voidborn Witch wielded unimaginable power, echoed in his mind. A place where the Gifted were reduced to dust with a single click of her finger, their very essence erased from existence.
"I am tired of playing with you kids," a woman's voice, strong and commanding, boomed across the arena. Ambrosia Papathanasiou, the Queen of the Maharlika Guild, her presence radiating power and authority, stood before him, her staff a symbol of her mastery over the elements.
Raine, his gaze cold and emotionless, met her challenge. "Well then," he murmured, a hint of amusement in his tone. "Shall we make this more enjoyable?"
A blinding flash of scarlet light engulfed him, revealing Raine clad in the Stormwing Tempest Armor, a magnificent suit of armor inspired by the physical attributes of the wind. He extended his hand, summoning the Zephyrblade, a sword infused with the power of the wind.
"Cometa volans, vinculum ignis, motus cohibetur, in vestigio cometae!" Raine invoked, a streak of fiery energy erupting from his hands, binding his opponents with a force they could barely comprehend.
The arena erupted in chaos. Viola Shea Roekel, the Guild Headmaster's adopted daughter, her Infernal Flameblade blazing with fiery energy, clashed with Ambrosia, their magic a whirlwind of destruction.
But the whispers of the silver-haired Witch, her power an untamed torrent that defied comprehension, haunted Raine's thoughts. He knew that the world was a dangerous place, a place where the Gifted and the Witches were locked in a perpetual struggle for power.
"This is not the time to worry about those things," Raine whispered, his focus unwavering. "I still have a test coming up."
But the test was only the beginning. Hidden threats lurked in the shadows, whispers of ancient curses and the looming presence of the Celestial Hunters, a group determined to eradicate the Celestial Spirits.
"Protect them, Celestial Knight Queen," the woman's voice echoed in his mind. "It is your destiny."
Raine, his heart heavy with responsibility, knew he could not escape his destiny. He was the Celestial Knight Queen, a beacon of hope in a world consumed by darkness. And as the battle raged around him, he would face his fears, embrace his power, and fight for the fate of the world.
But what secrets lie hidden within the silver-haired Witch's kingdom? And what will happen when Raine's path crosses with hers? Will he be able to unlock his full potential and overcome the forces that threaten to destroy everything he holds dear?
The Tale of the Silver Witch: A story of power, destiny, and the battle between light and darkness.
But the whispers of the silver-haired Witch grew louder, a chilling reminder of the true nature of Raine's power. He was not just a Celestial Knight Queen, but a Witch himself.
