As the second-born royals continued their journey to uncover the truth behind Morgar's dark intentions, they couldn't help but wonder about the origin of their foe. It was during their quest that they stumbled upon a hidden library within the depths of the Spirit Kingdom's city-like biome. The library contained ancient texts and scrolls that held the key to understanding the enigmatic sorcerer. Alistair, the guardian of the Spirit Kingdom, took the lead in exploring the library. His connection to the city's spirits allowed him to sense the presence of knowledge hidden in the scrolls. As he deciphered the ancient texts, a tragic and unsettling story began to unravel before their eyes. Morgar, once known as Morgan, was not always a force of darkness. He had been born in the Spirit Kingdom, and from a young age, he displayed remarkable abilities. As a child, he could see and communicate with the spirits of the city. His parents, the king and queen, recognized his extraordinary gifts and sought to nurture his powers. The story revealed that Morgan had a twin brother, Alistair, whom he shared a deep and unbreakable bond with. Together, they harnessed their abilities and explored the mysteries of the Spirit Kingdom's city, forging connections with the spirits that resided there. Their childhood was filled with laughter, curiosity, and a profound sense of unity. However, as the years passed, Morgan's insatiable thirst for power began to corrupt him. He delved into forbidden magic, seeking to amplify his abilities beyond the limits of the Spirit Kingdom. His obsession led him to misuse the city's magic, casting dark spells that threatened the balance of their world. The misuse of magic took a terrible toll on Morgan, causing him to age rapidly, both in appearance and spirit. The once-bonded brothers became estranged, as Alistair's pleas to abandon his dark path fell on deaf ears. Fueled by his growing obsession with power, Morgan severed the bond that connected him to the spirits of the city and embarked on a dark, solitary journey. As Alistair, still a child in appearance, continued to guard the Spirit Kingdom and nurture the city's spirits, he believed that his twin brother had perished due to his reckless actions. Little did he know that his brother, now known as Morgar, had survived and continued to harness forbidden magic, plotting to seek vengeance on the kingdom that had cast him out. The second-born royals, listening to this tragic tale, felt a mixture of sorrow and empathy for Morgar. They understood that the misuse of power, born from an unquenchable desire for more, could turn even the purest hearts to darkness. Alistair, however, carried the weight of his lost twin's journey as a heavy burden, knowing that the confrontation with Morgar would be more personal than he had ever imagined. With the knowledge of Morgar's past in their possession, the second-born royals prepared to confront their foe with a newfound understanding of the darkness that had consumed him. They knew that the final battle loomed ahead, and it would test not only their powers but their capacity for compassion and redemption.
