The Winds of Elderan
by vitaminD
General Kahno and Prince August have been together for years, and dream of being married, once August tells his father. This becomes more complicated after a threat on August’s life, and Kahno is cursed with the cold spirit of the winter wind. Accompanying the icy magic that responds to his emotions is a voice in his head that advises Kahno against what he has been raised to think and do. August lies to the war council and states that he is the one cursed with magic, as anyone other than himself would be killed. This calms the waters for now, and they receive help from the Queens of Relik, learning that the Eight Winds were bound to certain artifacts by the gods, and that Ekran, the tyrant trying to capture and abuse the magic of the winds, is frantically searching for them. August, Kahno, and Captain Markus, a close friend of Kahno’s, embark on a quest to find another artifact. The story has much further to go, but one constant remains: as long as they are together, they can and will overcome anything.
