Backstory (Part 2)

(Day Time)

(Night Time)

Planet Inferno. 

A remote society governed by a Royal Family calls this planet home.

Crystals and Vegetations that are out of this world.

Several Exotic Species can be found here.

And they all coexisted in peace.

.

.

.

.

The people adored the Royal Family, and the family adored their people, doing everything they could to keep everyone safe and happy.

They took in strangers looking for a place to call home.

The King and Queen adored their sons and were willing to give them anything they want, but it never seemed to satisfy one of them.

Souta.

The Eldest Son.

He desired more, and he desired to expand their domain to other areas of the Cosmos.

Despite the planet's vast trade accords, he still wanted more.

The King and Queen initially assumed their eldest was simply enthusiastic about his principles and let him to tour the Cosmos as he pleased; however, they now realize it was a horrible choice to take their gaze away from him, as he abruptly altered following his return.

He began to close himself off.

Became Aggressive.

And he was downright hostile to everyone who approached him, which was uncharacteristic of him.

.

.

.

The Queen had had enough and went to speak with her oldest, pleading with him to return to his former self.

"Are you all right, Souta?" The Queen (Mary-Anne) opened the door to his room and gazed at her son's back.

Ignoring his mother's call, he stood at the table in his room scanning through Holo-Screens.

"Souta?.." Mary-Anne entered the room and approached her son. "Please respond; you're causing us so much concern. Since you've returned, you've-."

Souta returned her stare, a stern expression on his face. "Woman, get out of here. You're interfering with my work."

Despite being taken aback by his remark, she held steady and gazed back at him, replying in a stern tone. "I will do no such thing. I am your mother, I am worried about you!"

She couldn't see his left eye twitch as he tried to compose himself.

"Souta, please talk to me!" As tears swelled the corners of Mary-Anne's eyes she exclaimed.

As Souta turned around, he raised his arm, implying that he was about to strike his mother, who was now wide-eyed.

Another hand reached out and caught his rising wrist before he could touch her, confounding the two in the room. Souta peered around the back of his shape and saw his enraged younger brother.

"Don't you dare." Hotaru said, his hold on his wrist tightening.

As he looked at his brother, Souta's grin broadened before speaking. "I'm disappointed in how you treat your elders now."

Hotaru abruptly released his grip on his wrist and rushed over to his trembling mother. "Come, Mother. Let's go," he said as he escorted his grieving mother out of the room, returning the glare from his brother.

.

.

.

When the incident was reported to the King, he was furious by what he had heard and placed his eldest son under surveillance. Unbeknownst to him.

After it was declared that the youngest son Hotaru would be taking over the throne, much to the delight of everyone else, Souta developed envy and hatred for his brother in the months after his homecoming.

That one blunder he had committed had wrecked their once tight relationship. And his animosity only deepened after he discovered that his crush preferred Hotaru over him.

'What does he have that I don't!' As he watched the two lovebirds converse in the garden below, he thought to himself, clenching his teeth.

.

Despite the animosity between the two, Hotaru still cared about his brother and hoped that things would settle down so he could reunite with him.

.

A bunch of misfits stormed the kingdom one day in quest of priceless gems to steal, but their scheme was thwarted by a group of children who saw them revealing their plans in an alley and alerted their parents. 

Good thing the bandits were idiots. 

The knights quickly apprehended the group and took them in for questioning.

No one could get past the ship docks without passing through the dock patrol, who knew every foreigner who entered the planet, but they were never seen for some reason, so they required answers.

To everyone's surprise, it was revealed that the Eldest Prince had been passing information of the kingdom to some outside group and had been permitted through without anyone's knowledge.

This was discovered when a maid passing by his room overheard him making a fuss in the room after the bandits were apprehended, and she promptly informed a knight, who informed the King and Queen.

.

.

.

.

Souta was expelled from the planet and warned never to return by the King, who did it with a heavy heart.

"You can't do this!" Souta screamed as two knights pulled him back.

"I just did. You are no longer welcome here." As he peered down at him, the King announced.

As the servants around her tried to console their Queen, Mary-Anne turned away in tears. Hotaru had a disappointed expression on his face as he stood next to Ena.

Souta's gaze shifted to his brother as he fought, and his eyes widened significantly. "Dammit, d-don't stare at me like that!"

"DAMN YOU ALL!"

.

.

And that was the last they ever saw Souta after he was sent off.
