The Aquaria Chronicle
In the vibrant land of Eres, where magic was not a myth, but a part of everyday life, lived a jovial and curious young boy named Elion. Elion was not known for his magical prowess or heroic deeds, but his curiosity about the mythical world of Aquaria that lay beneath the grand ocean bordering Eres. Legends of Aquaria piqued Elion's interest, of mystical rivers and glowing coral, merfolk and sea-dragons coursed through his dreams as splashes of watercolor. Unwilling to leave his dreams in slumber, Elion made it his life goal to explore Aquaria.
Upon turning sixteen, Elion sought to materialize his dream adventure. Elion was not a mage, but he was known for his art of crafting magical artifacts. He spent weeks creating a pendant that would allow him to breathe underwater and guide his way in the deep ocean's darkness. His creation complete, he embarked on his journey surfing on the back of his golem Wave-Runner that he crafted with the rocks of the cliff that met the Ocean.
Entering the ocean's embrace, he activated his pendant, taking a leap into the unknown. As he went deeper, he witnessed a phenomenal spectacle. Bioluminescent corals brought life to the ocean floor, a vibrant spectacle illuminating against an inky backdrop. Schools of enchanting kelpies glided around him, pearl-bearing oysters blinked lazily, and seahorses made with ribbons of rainbows gave him playful grins. He continued deeper, the light of Aquria glowing brighter and eventually leading him to a magnificent underwater city, revealing the glorious world of Aquaria.
Scaly folk with fishtails in different shades who had pearlescent eyes filled with curiosity met Elion. They were the merfolk, the mystical residents of Aquaria. Surprised at first, but their king greeted Elion warmly, acknowledging the journey he had made. This led to Elion spending months in Aquaria, learning about their culture, their magical abilities, their legends, and most importantly, their bond with the sea-dragon.
One night, the peace of Aquaria was disrupted by an ancient sea-serpent threatening their harmony. Aquaria had a pact with the sea-dragons, but this certain serpent Old Fang, wanted to claim Aquaria his own. Seeing their plight, Elion resolved to help. Crafting an amulet with the Aquatic Heart, a magical gem given by the merfolk king for protection, Elion ventured to meet Old Fang in his abyssal lair.
Glowing studs streamed down Old Fang's body, glinting malevolently in the gloom. Elion, undeterred, held out the Aquatic Heart, declaring Old Fang has no claim over Aquaria. A fierce battle ensued, chaos stirring the ocean. Elion remained resilient, and his pendant flared brighter than ever. Confronted with the unified strength of Aquaria and Erin, Old Fang finally retreated to the abyssal depths.
Elion returned victorious, was hailed as a hero by the merfolk, and peace resurfaced in Aquaria. As time came for him to return, Elion held the mystical sights of Aquaria and the friendships he had built close to his heart. The merfolk bid him farewell with a grand feast, gratitude adorning their faces.
Embracing his homeland again, Elion continued to explore different realms of magic, always harboring a special bond with Aquaria. Thus, the Aquaria Chronicle marked the tale of Elion, making his place not just in Eres but in the radiant hearts of Aquaria. His destiny, etched in the fibers of both myth and reality, was a testament to his spirit's resilience and his heart's curiosity.
