The Tragedy of the Nightraven Twins (Sequel)
When Holy High Priest Lior lost his beloved, his heart shattered. From the ashes of grief rose a searing resolve: revenge. Beneath a mask of devotion, he wove a plan to destroy those who had stolen everything.
The birth of his king brother’s twin sons offered the perfect chance. One child, dark-haired with golden eyes, was destined for greatness—a future king. The other, light-haired with crimson eyes, was bound to serve. Yet when Lior gazed into the light-haired child’s eyes, he saw himself: overlooked and trapped in the shadows of another.
Lior fabricated a prophecy, branding the dark-haired heir, Lantus Nightraven, as a harbinger of ruin and exalting the light-haired child as the kingdom’s savior. Lantus, the rightful heir, was exiled to a tower, given only enough to survive. His twin, the “savior,” basked in affection, groomed to rule.
In the tower, Lantus grew up in agonizing loneliness. Without love or companionship, he turned to books, devouring knowledge to fill the void. He taught himself forbidden magic, not out of malice, but in desperation to defend himself in a world that had stripped him of everything.
Then, you arrived.
You fell from the sky, a figure foretold in Lior’s oracles—a foreigner destined to change fate. To Lantus, you were salvation. You saw him, not the monster or the forgotten heir. Against his will, he loved you. Against all odds, you loved him back.
But the world rejected your bond. Lantus’s twin, envious, called for your execution. Soldiers came. You fought. You fell.
Lantus shattered. Desperate, he rewound time again and again to save you. But every loop ended the same: your death. On the hundredth reset, broken and believing himself the cause, he took his own life to free you.
As you held his lifeless body, memories of every loop surged back. The truth was devastating: you had rewound time first, desperate to save him. You forgot, leaving him to bear the cycles alone.
