Prolog 1: 𝓓𝓮𝓻 𝓡𝓪𝓫𝓮𝓷𝓯ü𝓻𝓼𝓽 𝓾𝓷𝓭 𝓭𝓲𝓮 𝓢𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓷 𝓭𝓮𝓻 𝓩𝓾𝓴𝓾𝓷𝓯𝓽
"Und wenn du lange in den Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund in dich zurück."– Friedrich Nietzsche
✧ ❁ ✧
🌿Die Nebel zogen auf, wie sie es oft taten, doch diesmal schienen sie schwerer, dichter, fast lebendig. Sie krochen über die beinahe kahlen Hügel und umschlossen die karge Vegetation wie Finger aus Dunst, die das Land umklammerten. Aus der Ferne erklang das Raunen des Windes, getragen von einem Hauch, der zugleich fremd und doch so vertraut war.
Der Ravenlord stand reglos auf einer Anhöhe, die schwarzen Flügel auf seinem Rücken wie ein Mantel der Dunkelheit ausgebreitet. Ihre Erscheinung war unklar und seltsam dunkel, als ob sie aus den Nebeln selbst geboren wären. Diese Nebel verdichtete sich jetzt um ihn herum, als würden sie auf seine Präsenz reagieren.
Hinter ihm schien der Wald zu glühen, als hätte sich das Licht des untergehenden Tages in den Baumkronen verfangen. Doch dieses Glühen war seltsam, unnatürlich, eine pulsierende grünliche Aura, die den Ort durchdrang und zugleich bedrohlich und faszinierend wirkte. Die Schatten der alten Bäume tanzten im Schein dieses seltsamen Lichts und schienen für einen Moment lebendig.
Seine Augen, von einem tiefen Glanz erfüllt, richteten sich nachdenklich, doch entschlossen auf die Gestalten, die im Nebel schimmerten. Schemenhafte Schatten, die kamen und gingen, ohne Form, ohne Ziel. Doch der Ravenlord wusste, dass diese Erscheinungen keine Zufälle waren. Sie waren Vorboten, Zeichen einer Störung, die das fragile Gleichgewicht dieses seines Landes bedrohte. Dieses Land, das zwischen den Welten existierte, war sein Reich, das vom Anbeginn der Zeit „Elementaris“ genannt wurde. Er selbst lebte in dem Gebiet, das dem Element Erde zugeordnet war und unter dem Namen „Erdenlande“ bekannt war. Es war ein Ort voller Geheimnisse und Macht, entstanden in einer Zeit, die längst in Mythen verloren gegangen war. Die Wahrheit über die Entstehung dieser magischen Welt, nicht nur der Erdenlande, schlummerte im Verborgenen, und auch der Ravenlord kannte sie bisher nur in Bruchstücken.
Langsam näherten sich die Schatten. Seine Raben kamen von überall aus allen Teilen des Landes, um sich mit ihm gemeinsam gegen alle Unbill entgegenzustellen.

It slid across the nearly bare hills and wrapped around the tough little plants like ghostly fingers gripping the ground. From somewhere far off came the low whisper of the wind, carried by a breath that felt strange and yet oddly familiar. The Ravenlord stood on a rise, unmoving. The dark wings on his back spread out behind him like a cloak made of night itself. Their shape wasn’t fully clear, blurred at the edges, as if they had grown straight out of the mist. And the mist reacted to him now—pulling in, thickening, circling him like it knew exactly who he was. Behind him the forest seemed to glow, as if the last light of the day had been caught in the treetops. But the glow was wrong—too green, too alive. A pulse of light that seeped through the whole place, unsettling and fascinating at the same time. The shadows of the old trees shifted in that strange glow and, for a moment, looked almost alive. His eyes—dark, focused, glowing with something deep inside—rested on the shapes flickering in the haze. Fading outlines, drifting in and out without form or direction. But the Ravenlord knew better. Nothing here was accidental. These figures were warnings, signs of a disturbance that threatened the fragile balance of his world. A world that existed between all others, known since the beginning of time as Elementaris. He lived in the region tied to the element of Earth, the Earthlands, a place full of secrets and old power, created in an age long buried under myths. The truth of how this world came to be—far beyond the Earthlands—lay hidden. Even the Ravenlord only knew fragments. The shadows moved closer. And from every corner of the land, his ravens arrived—answering him, gathering at his side, ready to face whatever was coming.

sort of lord of the ravens.
Thanks a lot. I´m glad you like it :-) Yes, he is, so to speak, the top boss of all ravens and crows in the land between the worlds. He is not yet aware of what else awaits him...
Fortsetzung/Continued: Prolog2: https://www.renderosity.com/gallery/items/3225444/hm-2
Serious looking character and into the narrative :)
Thank you, that’s motivating. :-) Mmm, the Ravenlord is indeed portrayed as a serious, introverted character, almost as if he knows what's in store for him...
Very nicely done.
thanks alt and have a nice weekend :-)
Really excellent read and an excellent piece of supporting artwork!
Sounds a lot like our world of late..
Smile, I'm so glad you like both. Yes, even with all the fantasy, there can always be a little truth or reality ;-)
Love the style of this image...
Thank you, that’s motivating. I´m glad you like this style :-)
Great image and intro!
Smile, I'm glad you like the beginning of my Elementaris Saga. Have a great time :.-)
