It was a peaceful day at Shifton. Gaunlets soared the open sky's. The animals grazed the grasses. People bonding with one another, talking about what they did yesterday and making plans to help one another out later in the day. It really was a beautiful sight to see. The open, clean, peaceful towns and city's, filled with wonderful people living their lives to the fullest. The children went to school, then played the rest of the day. The adults worked hard on the fields and hunting grounds. Pastures and farms open for everyone to come and enjoy fresh food and associate with one another. Following a single road lead to an amazing castle, where water flowed through the air and sparkled throughout the day. People could freely enter the castle and enjoy the royals and nobles company. Eating, drinking, bonding with one another without issue. It was as if there was no boundaries between royals and commoners. They truly did live as one together. And they were happy.
Until one day an assassination took place. Three royals, captured and taken to a far away and hidden place in Shifton. The King, Alex the II, The Queen, Melanie, And Heir to the throne, Frederick. This capture sent all of Shifton into a panic. The people didn't know what to do. The royals guards and the knights of Shiftrous grabbed their armor and weaponry and hopped onto their mounts, sending search parties to hopefully find these beloved royals. Let us join with our Young Prince now. It is time for his fate to take place...

I could see nothing. But I could feel everything. Hear everything. I heard horrid cries and pleas from my mother. And curses from my father. I didn't know what to do at the time. If I could do anything to save her. My mother... a kind hearted soul. An innocent that deserved no such death. I heard an unfamiliar voice speak. I couldn't make out the words, but then I heard the scream of my mother... the last bit of air leaving her lungs... I'll never forget what I'd heard. My father, somehow managed to break free. I heard the unfamiliar voice scream in pain. My father then, Released the cloth from my eyes. What I say. I also will never forget. the sight of my dead mother. Blade through her pure heart. and a man, bleeding out and laying against a wall. my father said to me "It's time to go. there is nothing we can do... we must return to the castle and let our people know what has happened...". When I looked up at my father, I saw tears dripping from his face. I too. Began to cry. When we returend to the castle. And explained all that has happend, My father made an anoucnment. I couldn't believe what I was hearing... but I knew it wasn't my decision to make. and I too, wanted to avenge my mother.. "Today, Shiftrous takes up arms. for to long have we kept our Peace. Zobodians have stepped out of line. And have broken this peace. We will begin training for war, and we will have our revenge! Though, I will not force anyone's hand, Any help we can get will be greatly appreciated!" I saw the entire crowd of commoners race their hands up high and scream. They were ready to take up arms. Every last one of them. Even the little ones. I too, took up arms. I trained day and night with various weaponry. I learned too trip my powers. I was was ready to avenge my fallen family. I knew that this might mean my life as well, but what I'm fighting for... It's more than worth it.
