The Awakening of the Echo Their carefully structured world changed forever on the day of their formal induction into the Royal Council’s service. During a ceremonial sparring match meant to showcase their skills, Amelia found herself cornered by a veteran knight. As the blade struck toward her, she instinctively reached for something beyond herself. In a flash of silvery light, an Echo of herself materialized, blocking the strike with perfect synchronization. Whispers swept through the hall. Echo Knights had not been seen in these lands for generations —warriors who could harness the echoes of their own potential, drawing on alternate versions of themselves to fight beside them. The discovery of her gift changed Amelia’s life overnight. While her parents saw it as a blessing to attract a royal suitor, the court viewed it as weapon that be harnessed. The Echo was unpredictable, powerful, and, in the wrong hands, dangerous. Amelia was no longer just a noble heir; she was a weapon, a potential threat, and an enigma to be carefully monitored. Aleta, ever the tactician, supported Amelia but warned her of the political implications. Amelia’s newfound abilities could either elevate their house to greater heights—or bring ruin if mishandled.

A Path Divided As their roles became more defined, the sisters found themselves on diverging paths. Aleta took on greater responsibility within the court, maneuvering through the political landscape with effortless charm and cunning. Amelia, on the other hand, embraced her growing power, seeking out ancient texts and masters who could help her control and understand the Echo. Her training intensified, with her days now consumed by both martial discipline and the pursuit of the Echo’s deeper mysteries. Torn between her duty to her family, the court and the desire to be free or responsibilities, Amelia made the difficult decision to leave the estate, embarking on a journey to uncover the true nature of her abilities before they could be used against those she loved. Her departure created a rift between the sisters. Aleta, though proud, struggled to accept Amelia’s defiance of tradition and her willingness to leave behind their carefully laid plans. Yet deep down, Amelia knew that their paths would cross again—perhaps in unexpected ways.
