In the realm of Solaris, a tale unfolds,
Of a mage named Cepheus, with a heart of gold.
Born with visage hideous, shunned by all,
Yet within his soul, compassion did enthral.
A kindred spirit in a world so cruel,
His empathy like a precious jewel.

SCENE 1.
SOLARIS
KINGDOM OF MIRROR
VILLAGE
COTTAGE
The glowing light appeared as everyone in the village, were frozen and smiling Cephei was cradled in the light. The king was the only one who was unfrozen, looking at the brilliant light stunned.
Voice-I am disappointed in you Durin, those items were bestowed you to, to rule with love and care and yet here you are trying to murder the child of prophecy...
The king looked at the hideous Cephei.
King Durin I-He's the child of prophecy?...
Voice-Silence!
The glowing hands were extended towards the king, the gloves and the ring disappeared.
Voice- You Durinn, no longer will have the favors of the deities, the council has seen the monstrous deeds you have done and heard the cries of the villagers who beg for death and be free from your iron rule, new era is starting and in this era the timelines and the guardians will rule ....
The light shattered into petals. Cephei looked at the king blankly, everyone was unfrozen, the king frightened started to take steps back, looking at Cephei frightened, his back hit Belus.
Belus-My powers are to see the destiny and the destination they are headed. You Durin, will be burnt alive and we will scatter your ash in the drying river where you will be forever trapped.
The king stunned and frightened didn't make a move as the villagers attacked and tied up the king, the prince and the princess looked at him and they too didn't make a move to help their father.
NARRATOR-Eventually Durin was tied and taken to the main village of Solaris and the city that was the capital, all the villagers each of them put wood under the feet of the king as the king waited for the fire to burn. Just like Belus had predicted the king was burnt alive, screaming Cephei's name and saying that Cephei was the child of prophecy but no one understood what it meant. And so the villagers were free and a new era was beginning, everyone looked at Belus and his 12 children to lead them to a prosperous future...
EXIT.
SCENE 2.
NARRATOR- As the years were flying by in Solars, Belus became the king and his 12 children along side him. They made the kingdom prosper and shine with love and light, everyone respected and loved the new royal family. Cephei with his deformed appearance, became the unfortunate target for the cruelty of his own family and the villagers of Solaris. His physical features, marred by twisted limbs and a face marked by scars, became a constant reminder of his differences. As a result, he was subjected to relentless mockery, both from his own kin and the villagers, who saw him as an easy target. Within the walls of the royal palace, Cephei's siblings and even his parents treated him with disdain. His brothers and sisters, who possessed extraordinary powers and beauty, taunted him relentlessly. They saw him as blemish on their prestigious lineage, a strain that had to be hidden away from the prying eyes of the kingdom. They would laugh at his every step, his every word and make him the butt of their jokes. Their cruel words pierced his heart. Leaving deep wounds that never seemed to heal. They would use him as errand boy, sending him on menial tasks, simply to assert their dominance and remind him of his place at the bottom of the family hierarchy. Outside the palace walls, the villagers were no different. They would gather around him, pointing, jeering and hurling insults. Cephei would often find himself in the narrow streets, surrounded by the sea of mocking faces. They would throw rocks and rotten fruits at him. Cephei's days were filled with isolation and despair. But even amidst the torment, a flicker of strength burned within Cephei. He longed for acceptance, for someone to see beyond his physical differences and recognize the gentle soul that resided within. He sought solace in the small moments of kindness he found, in the whispers of the wind and the warmth of the sun and the loyalty of the forest animals, that would gather around him...
