Chapter 1

They had been traveling for weeks, following the ancient Silk Road that connected the East and the West. A group of traders, carrying spices, silk, and other valuable goods.

They hoped to reach the city of Samarkand, where they could sell their wares and rest for a while. But along the way, fierce sandstorms were encountered that forced them to take shelter in a nearby cave.

There, they discovered a hidden oasis, a lush green valley surrounded by mountains. They were amazed by the sight, but even more so by the strange phenomena they witnessed. Plants that glowed in the dark, animals that spoke in human tongues, and streams that flowed uphill.

They realized that they had stumbled upon a place where magic still thrived, a place that had been forgotten by the rest of the world. And decided to explore the oasis, hoping to find its secrets and its guardians.

But they also had to be careful, for they knew that there were others who would seek to exploit the power of this oasis, people who would stop at nothing to claim it as their own. This was realm of sorcery, and they had to be ready for anything.

Liang, was a young and ambitious trader who dream of becoming rich and famous by traveling the Silk Road. He joins a caravan led by an experienced merchant named Zhang, who eventually becomes his mentor and friend.

Zhang, a veteran merchant who has traveled the Silk Road many times and knows its dangers and opportunities. Takes Liang under his wing and teaches him the secrets of the trade. He hopes to retire soon and settle down with his family in Xi’an, the capital of China.

Aisha, a beautiful and mysterious woman who lives in the hidden oasis of Shambhala, where magic still thrives. She is the daughter of the oasis’s ruler, a powerful sorcerer named Omar. She is kind, gentle, and compassionate, but also brave and independent. She meets Liang when he and Zhang stumble upon the oasis and falls in love with him.

Now Omar, isn't part of the group. He is the ruler of Shambhala and a master of magic. And also the guardian of the oasis and its secrets, which he protects from outsiders who seek to exploit its power. Proud, noble, and wise, some knew that he was also secretive, stern and sometimes cruel.

He will meet this band of desert traders later. And plans to marry Aisha to a royal prince from a neighboring kingdom to secure an alliance.

Then there is Hassan, a ruthless and cunning warlord who leads a band of nomads and raiders. He is the enemy of Omar and beautiful Shambhala, and wants to conquer the oasis and harness its magic for his own ambitions.

He is cruel, greedy, and ambitious, but also charismatic and cunning. He has spies and informants along the Silk Road...
