In a dark, desolate corner of the world, nestled deep within the bowels of an ancient forest, resided a reclusive black magician named Malachai. This sinister sorcerer had long harboured a malevolent thirst for power, and to achieve his wicked desires, he had summoned two malevolent spirits – Aethon and Nocturna. These spirits had once been guardians of the ethereal realm, but Malachai, with his cunning and dark arts, had bound them to do his bidding.
