The Immortal Man

Before the world of Branch and Blade**… before Elaria's journey begins… there was Kraak.**

Cursed with immortality, Kraak has walked the world for centuries, unable to die and unable to escape the torment of endless life. Kingdoms have risen and fallen around him, friends have turned to dust, and the love he once held dear waits for him beyond a death he cannot reach.

But legends speak of an ancient power hidden deep within forgotten ruins. A power capable of breaking curses… and granting the one thing Kraak has sought for longer than he can remember.

Death.

Accompanied by his loyal companion Geldor, Kraak travels into the depths of an ancient chamber where fate, magic, and a mysterious sorceress named Helena await him. Yet in a world shaped by destiny and forgotten magic, nothing is ever as simple as it seems.

Set long before the events of Branch and Blade**, this dark fantasy short story explores the legend of the immortal man and the fate that will one day shape the world to come.**
