Raithea Rhuitaure is an ambigous and dual character, who can’t be really categorized. As my pumpkin friend said, he is cynical and silently can do very dark things, in the name of a better cause.

Trapped forever in the body of his own ten-years old self, he remembers age of light, when elvin kind lived prosperous, in one with nature. Kind, selfless and not prepared for the invasion, elves did almost nothing to stop the humankind to take over their land, destroy their culture and enslave the remaining elves, ruling over them with iron fist.

Raithea was one of commanders of the elvin army, which was small, and also not prepared. Made mostly from hunters and fighting only with bows and arrows, they couldn’t stop the inevitable. Raithea was leading the last, desperate attack on human forces, with elvin mages, as he was one of them and the oldest magic wielder among them.

They lost. Of course they lost. Raithea, heavily wounded, was bleeding out on the battlefield. His body was destroyed by numerous wounds, he had no chance to survive. But with his last breath, he cursed the humans with most powerful cast he had. And when his soul drifted from his body, there, between realities, Unseens took it over.

Ancient, powerful, boundless. Dark as ink. Demons proposed Raithea’s soul a deal. They will offer him retribution – he will raise among humans, and get a chance to have revenge. But they will take days that he would still live through, if not killed by invaders.

Raithea agreed immediately. But demons tricked him. Took the days that he would live from years he already lived, giving him a form of small, ten years old elvin child. Weak, defenseless. But with wisdom and magical power of an old mage that knew more than any of human could dream of.

Demons offered him king’s grace and position above all slaves, even above humans. But saving elvin families from slavery, cruelty and fire changed him. The fact that he died changed him. And his soul, tainted gradually by the influence on Unseens, made him almost worse than invaders. He had no mercy, no heart. His only saving point was his devotion for his cause – punishing the humans, taking apart their kingdom from inside – starting from its heart.

Raithea became bitter, but his wit and intelligence were sharp and dark. Lost in vengeance he forgot how to feel. Even if surrounded by elves that felt for him even too much. He is loved by Zakrivea, an elvin maid from far away lands, where elves are free. She is confused by her love, as she doesn’t know if she loves a man Raithea is or a child he looks like. Keeral, Raithea’s assistant, would jump after him in the fire.

Raithea is beyond saving. But does he really is? There are other forces as strong as ancient demons, one of them sleeps just in Raithea’s youthful body. There is not darkness without light, no evil without good. Balance is in every creation. Is Raithea ready to become a real savior?

That, in novel which I will publish here. Keep eyes peeled hard!
