The Runebound Oath of the...

Hoang Nguyen

In the veil of eternity, where midnight witches carve runes into the fabric of night and celestial guardians patrol the starry abyss, Elara the rune-weaver binds her fate to Orion, a fallen star-spirit exiled for loving beyond his luminous kin. Their oath, forged in a ritual of shadow ink and comet tears, awakens a tempest that could either mend the fractured veil or plunge realms into chaotic void. As they traverse ethereal bridges of woven starlight and shadowed chasms haunted by void beasts, Elara's midnight magic clashes with Orion's celestial light, revealing an ancient pact that links their souls across eons. Yet, a coven of envious witches and a legion of dark guardians conspire to shatter the runebound vow, unleashing curses that twist time itself. In the heart of the eternal veil, where every rune pulses with peril and every oath echoes with destiny, Elara and Orion must surrender to their intertwined flames to restore balance. Their love, a beacon against the abyss, becomes the rune that rewrites eternity's decree.
