content

In the fantastic and always peaceful land of Aina , which is ruled by King Taetius Ainaen, a dispute breaks out between Prince Torek Ainaen and his younger brother Talon Ainaen, because they desire the same woman, Oria Allyahan. When Oria decides to marry Talon, Torek flees the kingdom in a rage only to become the god of destruction, Sorvahr, in the far-away land of Naschtok. Soon he invades Aina to kidnap Oria and keep her prisoner. Her newborn daughter, Oriana, remains in the Kingdom of Aina, where she is raised by King Talon. In Naschtok, Oria Sorvahr gives birth to a son, Syrius, who then falls in love with his sister Oriana while traveling through the country, without both knowing that they are related. Syrius, however, invades Aina shortly afterwards and so both stand as military leaders on the battlefield and lay down their arms. Sorvahr sees this with his divine power from afar and kills his son Syrius on the spot. Oriana learns that Syrius is her biological brother, puts the opposing army to flight and frees her mother Oria from captivity in Naschtok.
