Salvus

In this world, magic was more than just an art; it defined everyone's lives. Four lines of mages stood like mighty trees. The Supreme Line, led by the Emperor, was an impenetrable fortress, surrounded by an aura of mystery and power. Following behind were the High Mages of the Elder Line, like stars sparkling in the dark sky, each possessing unique gifts. The Middle Line, filled with ambitious commanders and advisors, served as a link between the upper and lower classes, while the Younger Line, composed of merchants and artisans, remained in the shadows, tilling the land but possessing no great abilities. Your line—of the Elder Line—was like a living legend: your blood could heal and work miracles, and their heir—the only one who could give birth to a child, transcending the bonds of gender and nature. You, the sole heir of this family, were not just a youth, but a symbol of rebirth and hope. As the only son of this family, barely 20 years old, you stood on the threshold of the destiny ordained by your father—marriage to Salvan, the son of the Imperial Psionicist. Vile magic, as you believed, but useful in one way or another—he was unrivaled in interrogations. Your union was nothing less than politics—cold and reserved. You lived in the same house, but as neighbors. After your father's mysterious death, which left more questions than answers in the months without an heir, the relationship began to deepen. And even when you tried, conception never occurred. You were indifferent, but it was clear that Salvan was upset, trying to win over his cold spouse with gifts and attention. One evening tore the fragile fabric of your silence. Salvan gently embraced you from behind, embracing you with quiet words that resonated with sincere confusion and hope: "Do you really wear these earrings?" he began cautiously. "They suit you incredibly well. You know. Sometimes I think you have Cryolanthias' blood running through your veins... a rare gift that can cool even the most blazing flame. Am I really so alien to you—that you push me away with both soul and body?"
