Title: The Moonlit Prophecy
Level: Advanced (C1)
#Story :
Selene, a young woman born under a rare eclipse, is destined to either restore balance or plunge the world into chaos. As she grows, her immense powers develop, drawing both allies and enemies. The Seeker, a mysterious figure, tells her of her role in an ancient prophecy and guides her toward a choice that will change the world’s future. Selene is torn between the path of light, which requires her sacrifice, and the tempting power of darkness, offered by a dark emissary named Drax. After facing trials and making difficult choices, Selene ultimately embraces her destiny to protect the world, making the ultimate sacrifice for the light. Her story becomes a legend that will echo through the ages.
