Palace in Heian Senlin: Celestial city, Liraz, Erebus city

Ashes to Ashes story ideas:

War against the Darkness (darkness of Heian Senlin)

Palace in Heian Senlin:  Celestial city, Liraz, Erebus city.

Heian Senlin is actually not a vast ocean of trees but a barrier surrounding Creton , a kingdom containing inhabitants (The Cretians).The borders of Creton are heavily guarded by dark shield casted by Dekel (Creton’s Overlord/ the Umbra) . The shield makes it impossible for none-Cretians to pass and Cretians are not allowed to go to other parts of Sanskrit. The kingdom of Creton has been heavily guarded and preserved for thousands of years now so no one outside of Creton knows about its existence, nor do they know about The Overlord’s existence and how powerful he is (they don’t know about his shadowing abilities). you cannot see the kingdom from above because it is glamoured and anyone who dare tries to enter the area from above will perish, or simply be relocated to where they came from with no memory of them trying to enter Heian Senlin. The borders of the forest is heavily guarded by trees, animals and other sorts of enchantments/necromancy (forgetting spells, harming spells, manning spells, blinding spells,…) that target and attacks any one who dares to enter. The forest contains poisonous trees, fruits and flowers, venomous creatures as well as unseen dangers. Beyond the Heian Senlin though, everything is gorgeous, amazing. The Heian Senlin is guarding a treasure though : the Phoenix (last of it’s kind) the Phoenix only appears to the chosen one/ the Phoenix wielder/

To save her father from going to the war -and from dying-, Seraphina decides to take her father’s armer, sword and daggers one night and heads to Desdemona (a Grimalkin: old crone who performs dark magic). She asks Desdemona to transform her into a man . Desdemona tells her that she’ll give her two vials: one to glamour her into appearing like a man and another to remove/put down the glamour. She will give them to her, but only one condition: she must give her one day of her life. Seraphina asks if giving one day of her life could mean spending a day with the Grimalkin or one day less in her lifespan and the Grimalkin responds by saying “say, it can” (not a lie , just not the full truth. What she actually has in plan is taking the day she was born)=> which will happen around the end of the book. She cannot just go to the camp though, she has to take someone’s place : her previous beau (Dolion)

Seraphina now has a man glamour up and goes by the name of Dolion which means crafty, deceitful, treacherous. (Given her lies… lol)

She goes to Aquilo to learn how to fight.

She learns the art of combat, she becomes best of them all
