The secret is about a different dimension called Duvollin. Even before we came into existence, Duvollin was full of people like us. There were many kingdoms in this dimension. The most beautiful and huge kingdom of Duvollin was Selemara. People used to say that if there is any place beautiful after Elyria, it’s Selemara. There were many kingdoms in Duvollin, but there was something very special about this kingdom. People lived in Selemara only because of its ruler, King Phinogar. He was a very brave, skilful, good-hearted, and talented with a very striking character, besides no one could match his endowment in sorcery. He was happily married with Rosatin, a beautiful princess of Delevan. Soon, queen Rosatin gave birth to a very endearing baby boy. There was happiness all over Selemara; they enthusiastically celebrated the birth of prince Synoids. Everything was fine in Duvollin until King Phinogar decided to explore the forest of Pamretol. In Mertis, Pamretol means mystery. Many people had earlier tried to range over the forest of Pamretol, but none of them ever came back. People believed that the forest had the powers of its own, but no one knew what sort of power the forest possessed. King Phinogar was very eager to know about the forest. He reached the forest of Pamretol. Being a sorcerer, he could feel the immense energy field of the forest. He decided to investigate further. He kept walking and walking deep inside the forest. By dawn of the next day, he reached Selemara. Everyone in Selemara was very happy to know that their King had returned unharmed from the forest. They were very excited to know about the forest of Pamretol. The King didn’t even share a bit of his experience, but this was nothing to worry about. The main problem was that King Phinogar was changing day by day; he was misusing his powers. He acquired more power by absorbing the core life energy of humans in order to gain immortality. This caused humans from whom he had obtained supremacy to go senseless. He was turning evil and insane. Gradually, people started fleeing from Selemara. There was a rumour being spread about the King, that the forest had an impact on him. Nothing was like before in Duvollin, everything had changed since the King had returned from the forest of Pamretol. The beautiful city of Selemara was now known as the city of dread. The goddess of sorcery, Phelonia became very infuriated with King Phinogar for squandering the beautiful art of sorcery. She tried to kill him, take his soul away from him and lock it in the depth of goddess of death, Andria’s realm. But she couldn’t do so, as he was too powerful with the energy of infinite humans, if she killed him the humans from whom he gained power would also die. She was perturbed and went back to Elyria. After lots of thinking with the other fourteen Elyrians, they decided to create Anegz- a very dominance peckish stone. It consisted of some part of power of each and every Elyrian. She hid the stone in the palace where King Phinogar and his family lived as the palace made him emotionally unstable, he would literally hit and curse himself. Everyone believed this happened because King Phinogar tried to break free from the curse that was casted upon him. Different palace was built for King Phinogar’s family. A rule was passed that no one will ever step in the palace where King Phinogar resided. If his soul is unleashed from the stone, he will ultimately rise to power and destroy everything and everyone who comes in his way…
