Ayda feels the weight of her existence with every step, her worn-out boots a testament to her struggles.
In 700 years, not a single soul has escaped slavery. The Mines a fortress, guarded by imposing walls, vigilant Watchers, and mysterious Magiks at the Rim. Perhaps it’s the fear for family that keeps them trapped, the thought of their suffering haunting every rebellious thought.

With resolve hardening, Ayda makes a decision. Her anger transforms into a quiet determination, a silent promise to herself. It’s time to choose a different path, to challenge the oppressive destiny that ensnares her. In the face of daunting odds, Ayda steps into the shadows, her heart steady, prepared to confront the unknown and fight for her freedom.
