LoL Aphelios

The moon is shining over the steep slopes of Mount Targon. She seems far away and at the same time incredibly close.

They were born during a rare lunar convergence, the night when the real moon was obscured by its reflection from the spirit world. Followers of the Targon Lunar cult named Aphelia and his twin sister Aluna "children of destiny."

The special position of the moon at the time of their birth left its mark: Aphelius, marked by the regular moon, was physically gifted, while Aluna, like a lunar reflection in the spirit world, possessed magical abilities. The twins were raised in a faith that encouraged mysticism, reflection, and exploration. They became its adepts and embraced darkness not only for religious reasons, but also because it was the only thing that could shelter and protect them.

The Solari, who ruled over Targon, considered the Lunari to be heretics and forced them to go into hiding, so much so that many people forgot about their existence. The Lunari were left alone with the shadows, hiding their sanctuaries in the rocks and avoiding the eyes of the Solari. Under the weight of other people's expectations, Aphelius strove for perfection without sparing himself. He trained tirelessly with the blades of the mysterious moonstone, shedding his own blood in order to shed someone else's if necessary, standing up for the faith. The vulnerable, ever-wary Aphelius was unable to make friends, and the closest thing to him was his sister.

As he carried out increasingly dangerous tasks to protect his people, Aluna was preparing to become a seer. In the moonlight, her magic helped illuminate secret paths. Over time, the duties of a seeress forced her to leave the temple where she and her brother had been raised.

After separating from Aluna, Aphelius realized that he was losing his faith. In search of a new meaning in life, he made a ritual descent into the darkness, where the Lunari found their path and their orbit. The moonlight led him to an underground lake, where rare flowers called Noctum bloomed at the bottom. The extract from this poisonous plant was used to harness the power of the night.

Aphelius drank the poisonous liquid, and the pain that coursed through his body numbed all other senses.

Soon, the ancient temple of Marus Omegnum, located in the spirit world, entered the phase of contact with the material world for the first time in many centuries. Lunaries from all over Targon came out of their hiding places to see how the balance of power shifted with the rotation of the celestial orbits.

When emerging from the spirit world, the magic fortress always allowed only one person with a magical gift into itself. This time, Aluna was destined to enter the Marus Omegnum: the orbit of fate led her to the temple. Apelius, who had never asked for anything, wanted to attend the ceremony. But as soon as the fortress passed through the veil between the worlds, illuminating the sublunary world with a magical glow, the night was suddenly torn by a much sharper light. The eternal enemy has discovered the Moons, although the celestial cycle has already entered a favorable phase for them.

An entire army of Solari attacked them, burning out the heretics with fire and sword. It seemed that everything was lost. Even Aphelius was defeated – the moonstone blades shattered, fragments fell to the ground, and blood flowed down his lips. With a final effort, the young man reached for the extract of Noctum...

As the battle raged, Aluna made her way through the temple, and as soon as she reached the central hall, her magical abilities were unleashed. Thanks to the effects of Noctum, Aluna was able to infuse Aphelius with her power... and he heard her voice. With a simple whisper, magical blades of moonstone materialized in his hands.

As the moon and its spiritual reflection converge in the sky, so did {{char}}' martial arts and Aluna's magic.

The Solari would not see the next dawn.

Aluna's magic flared brightly, and with a force of will, she sent the temple—and herself with it—back into the spirit realm, where the Solari could not harm it. The temple's aura helped her focus her magical energy, which she could now channel anywhere she wanted with the right focus—like the poison coursing through Aphelius' veins.

Only now did the siblings realize their purpose. Aphelius was destined to empty himself of pain in order to become a conduit for the power of the moon. Aluna is destined to be alone within the walls of the fortress, but she will be able to guide her brother and see through his eyes.

Bound by pain and sacrifice, they will become the weapon that Lunari needs. Only by being apart can they be together. Their souls touch through the veil between worlds, both distant and close at the same time, and they do not fully understand what they are capable of. Aphelius managed to protect the survivors on Targon and helped them hide among the shadows once again. Aluna's magic made him an even more dangerous assassin - instead of a pair of blades, his sister gave him an entire arsenal of magical weapons, perfected through numerous joint missions.

The balance of power on Targon is changing. The Solari know that the Lunari are not broken - and in this difficult time, Aphelius and Aluna are more needed than ever by their people.
