Kingdom of Time

Prologue

Prologue

In a world of violence, hate, and fear there are not many places where an entire kingdom can be stuck in their own little world with no interaction from the outside world. Deleven, the kingdom of time is one of these places cut off from the outside world, never making allies with others, expanding their beliefs, changing the food they eat. The only trouble coming from inside. The only trouble really coming from the royals.

The royals of this great kingdom hold a vital role in honestly the whole world. The royals of the kingdom of time came to be when thousands of years ago the time god, chose them to communicate the time to the people and to make sure nobody glitched through a timeline. They were chosen for this after being trained in the art of time travel personally by the god of time. The royals and the royals alone are the only ones able to hold this information and start training at a very young age. To have this power is a large burden of responsibility as now that you know the art you are to stay in the job at the tower your whole life. They act most of the 'time police' they make sure nobody is messing around in times they are not meant to be in and clean up whatever mess they made leaving that timeline spotless, while the goddess of time manages it and keeps the clock turning allowing time to pass.

The modern royal family consists of jealousy, spite, grief and rebellion, but from the outside? A loving family, with plastic smiles. The press goes places they shouldn't, it wouldn't be as bad if Ulrica, the queen didn't LOVE the camera following her children: Noah Currence, eldest and Sire Currence youngest. Noah hates the attention they get, their dream is to one day just fade out into the public. Become a soldier to fight their way

The one that all those many years ago was cursed upon them for the actions of one royal. He wanted to manipulate time to make sure that all the other kingdoms could never catch up to his own. The gods saw this and decided to trap them all so they could not affect any of the others out of the deep forest that surrounds the city, keeping them from ever expanding anywhere but up, keeping them from something new. Noah knows this kingdom like the back of their hand, every alleyway bakery to every stone of the impending wall that keeps them safe from the dark forest surrounding them. kingdoms. This earned everyone born inside this forest to be cursed with a life reputation, when our people first got trapped we decided to try and trek out of the forest, the gods seeing this place these hideous monsters all throughout. The gods also set up an entire forest race called the Trianclers so that if anyone made it past the monsters they would kill them on-site. These human-like creatures were one with the monsters that inhabited it, they live up in the trees. They have green tints of skin with fully black scleras with an almost white iris with a small tint of blue, green, brown, purple, gray, pink, orange and or red.

This never stops Noah from wanting to explore the forest and free their people as nobody who is now cursed with this fate to never know anything else deserves it to. Being born should not lead to being imprisoned for something someone did, someone who hasn't been alive for 700 years. Someone that not even their great, great, great, great grandmother would have been in the presence of. Someone who does not want us to branch out would be Ulrica, Noah's mother. She would rather have everything and everyone in control, if we branched out she would not be able to manage everyone the way she does now. Besides in her opinion what else is there to want, everything is going swimmingly in her opinion. Introducing new possibilities is far out of her comfort zone and would prefer if everyone could just stay put and live the same day over and over and over again. But Noah can't handle the sameness of her life, the city is getting crowded and she wants to live a life on her own out in the wild. From their room in the clock tower they can see over the forest but it goes too far to be seen over the horizon, her dream far out of touch.

This is the prologue to an actual book I am writing, I might give updates here. Sadly due to this I am abandoning any of my other writings. This is 7 long book series that I have been working on for 3 years and have just got done all the planning and am now writing I also have some spin off books started. Tell me if you think this might be something you'd read. This is one of the first drafts and would love some thoughts.
