Synopsis
The Forsaken Balance is a dark mythic fantasy about a broken world where silence often speaks louder than truth. When an outsider with no name and a forbidden history steps into the decaying heart of Slamanta, he awakens more than just suspicion—he draws the attention of ancient forces long buried in scripture and ashes. In a city twisted by false sanctity and fractured loyalties, he encounters lost children, dangerous beast,corrupted people and relics of a war no one remembers but everyone feels. Marked by both Creation and Destruction, he must walk a path where power is hunted, belief is weaponized, and choice itself may be an illusion. The balance has been broken. And something is watching.

Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE - The prayer that should not have been

A ripple ...

A small stir in the void. It was not a sound, nor a movement....it was something ..... something that was not meant to be. Something older than the world itself. Something that had not happened in aeons.

In the vast emptiness between realms, stray currents of existence drifted, unseen and forgotten. Some were pure, remnants of creation's first light, while others were impure, echoes of destruction and chaos..while there were some that belonged to neither...These energies had long remained separate, neither interfering nor mixing,bound by an ancient balance of recurring creation and destruction

But on this night, something changed.

Across a desolate land,In a cavernous chamber, tens of voices rose in prayer. Hooded figures knelt within an intricate summoning circle carved into the blackened ground, its lines glowing with an eerie silver radiance. They chanted, their voices harmonizing in tones that scratched at the fabric of reality itself. Their purpose ...to call upon a power beyond mortal understanding. A power to stop the Abyssborns. A power to reign supreme over the chaos.

The energies in the void trembled. The purity of their devotion clashed with the impurities of their desperation, and where such forces met, something new began to form.

A presence.

A being.
