These sorcerers, known as the Blood Wave, were an elite sect of soldiers within the Order of Dawn, feared for their ruthless dedication to their cause and their unwavering loyalty to the gods they served. The power they wielded was beyond comprehension, capable of commanding kingdoms and reducing their adversaries to mere ashes.

Led by their enigmatic king of sorcerers, a figure revered for his arcane prowess, the Blood Wave embodied the darkest aspects of sorcery. They were masters of manipulation, willing to sacrifice anything and anyone to fulfill their ambitions. Their commitment to the Order of Dawn's mission to conquer and reshape the world knew no bounds, and they would stop at nothing to achieve it.

Among the travelers caught in the merciless onslaught was Elara, a woman heavy with child and the sister of Kael, a war sorcerer who fought with a deadly combination of magic and martial arts. They had embarked on this treacherous journey together, unaware of the horrors that awaited them.

With silent malevolence, the blood sorcerers unleashed their dark sorcery upon the unsuspecting mercenaries. Chants of ancient incantations echoed through the frigid air, resonating with a sinister energy that seemed to seep into the very fabric of the night. Arcane symbols glowed ominously as the sorcerers weaved their spells, drawing upon forbidden knowledge to harness the forces of destruction.

The air crackled with an otherworldly tension as ethereal tendrils snaked from the sorcerers' fingertips, entwining around the bodies of their victims. Paralyzing enchantments gripped the mercenaries, rendering them frozen in a state of helplessness. Their voices were stolen, trapped in a web of sorcerous silence that suffocated their pleas for mercy.

As the spellbound mercenaries watched in horror, the blood sorcerers descended upon them with merciless precision. Gleaming blades, imbued with malevolent energy, danced through the air, their lethal arcs leaving trails of crimson in their wake. Each stroke found its mark, severing heads and extinguishing lives with a grim finality. The camp became a gruesome tableau of violence, where the spilled blood mingled with the snow, creating a tapestry of crimson and white.

In the midst of the carnage, Kael, Elara's younger brother and a formidable war sorcerer, fought valiantly against the blood sorcerers. He unleashed devastating spells and combined them with his expert martial arts skills, striking fear into the hearts of his adversaries. Though heavily outnumbered, Kael's unwavering resolve and mastery of both magic and combat allowed him to hold his ground against the malevolent horde.

By the time the carnage subsided, the camp had transformed into a charnel ground, its atmosphere heavy with the stench of death and despair. The lifeless bodies of the mercenaries lay strewn across the snow-covered ground, their faces forever frozen in expressions of shock and horror. The once-thriving community of travelers had been reduced to a chilling reminder of the sorcerers' ruthless power.

Under the cover of the starlit night, amidst the chaos and confusion of a camp under siege, Elara, her body heavy with the precious gift of life, sought refuge in the shelter of a makeshift tent. The distant sounds of battle reverberated through the air, mingling with the cries of anguish and the clash of steel. Fear clung to the atmosphere like a suffocating fog, yet amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope burned within Elara's eyes.

With each agonizing contraction that gripped her body, Elara's breath hitched, her grip tightening on the frayed edges of the tent fabric. The pain was a fierce reminder of the perils that surrounded her, but she refused to succumb to despair. Determination etched deep lines upon her weary face as she whispered words of solace and encouragement to the life burgeoning within her.

But fate, ever cruel, had conspired against her. In the midst of this chaotic battleground, one of the blood sorcerers, an emissary of darkness, discovered Elara's secluded sanctuary. Drawn to the raw energy radiating from the unborn child, the sorcerer's eyes glinted with malevolence as he approached the trembling tent.

Elara's heart raced, her instincts urging her to protect her unborn child at all costs. With trembling hands, she clutched her abdomen, feeling the life within respond to her touch, a beacon of hope amidst the encroaching shadows. But there was no time to escape, no chance to evade the clutches of this sinister interloper.

As the sorcerer breached the threshold of her sanctuary, the air grew heavy with a palpable darkness. Shadows danced upon the tent walls, distorted by the flickering flames of the dying campfires. Elara's eyes met the sorcerer's gaze, a mixture of defiance and desperation burning within them. She knew the price she might pay for standing in the path of such malevolence, but the love for her child propelled her forward, defying the fear that threatened to consume her.

With a flourish of his hand, the sorcerer unleashed a torrent of forbidden magic. It crackled through the air, its corrupted tendrils reaching out hungrily, seeking to snuff out the fragile light that glowed within Elara. She gasped, feeling her energy drain as the sorcerer's spell took hold, rendering her helpless and immobilized.

Agonizing pain radiated through Elara's body, intertwining with the deep sorrow that welled within her. The world around her blurred, the sounds of battle fading into an ethereal haze. Through tear-filled eyes, she glimpsed the flickering stars above, their distant light a reminder of the vastness of the universe and the untold secrets it held.

As her life force waned, Elara clung to the final vestiges of hope, a testament to her unwavering love for her unborn child. In the depths of despair, she whispered words of strength and protection, weaving a tapestry of love and resilience around the fragile life nestled within her womb.

And as the sorcerer's spell reached its devastating crescendo, the camp erupted in chaos. The clash of weapons, the screams of battle, and the crackling of flames intermingled with Elara's fading breaths. In that somber moment, she surrendered her last heartbeat, her essence dissipating into the night, leaving behind the legacy of an unfulfilled destiny.

As the sorcerers reveled in their malevolence, their attention diverted from the valiant Kael, who continued to battle against overwhelming odds. His fate, whether it ended in triumph or tragedy, remained unknown, shrouded by the chaos of the slaughter that ensued.

In a moment of unexpected defiance, the unborn child within Elara's womb, infused with the essence of the berserker spirit, clung tenaciously to life. Unbeknownst to the blood sorcerers, their dark magic had inadvertently sparked a fusion, birthing a force beyond their comprehension.

The child carried within them the spirit of a berserker, a fearsome creature possessing its host. As fate wove its intricate threads, the baby became the vessel for this merged entity. The berserker's essence permeated every cell, transforming the child into an unprecedented creation, a pure berserker housed within a human form.

In the aftermath of the slaughter, a silence descended upon the desecrated camp, broken only by the mournful wind that whispered through the pines. The blood sorcerers, sated with their cruel harvest of souls, stood amidst the carnage, their dark forms a stark contrast against the pale moonlight. They reveled in their malevolence, intoxicated by the fear and suffering they had wrought.

The blood sorcerers spared no soul within the ill-fated camp, their cruel intention to amass the required ingredients for a forbidden spell. Souls, blood, bones, and even living beings would fuel their dark desires. However, amid the desolation, a miracle unfolded. The child, destined to enter the world from his mother's lifeless form, clung to existence within her decaying corpse. Through the unexplainable fusion of berserker and baby, he defied death itself.

The path ahead for the child, known as Squardza, would be fraught with danger and uncertainty. The blood sorcerers and the Order of Dawn would stop at nothing to harness his untapped power. As Squardza's story unfolded, he would seek revenge against the blood sorcerers, discovering allies, and unearthing ancient secrets that held the key to his destiny.
