In a realm with a single ruler, governing the people with his honest and courteous nature. He, who had such a significant power over his people no one dared to go against his judgments. The king Faelen Kaldwin, ruler of the Acacus was known as the valiant and honest man from his ancestors.
King Faelen Kaldwin is known for his wise and prudent leadership. He is a strong and decisive leader who has established a reputation for being fair and honourable. During his reign, King Faelen has been a firm and able administrator, setting forth policies and measures to ensure the prosperity and stability of his kingdom. He has faced challenges during his rule, such as natural disasters and economic hard times, but has always been able to manage them effectively. His leadership has also fostered a strong sense of loyalty and respect among the people of Acacus.
He had two sons Ferwend and Harwend Kaldwin, twins soon to be crowned. As the future heirs to the throne, these two young princes are often seen as having a significant influence on the kingdom's policies and decision-making. They are known for being bold, daring, and resourceful, with a strong sense of justice and morality. While they share many traits, Ferwend and Harwend also exhibit some distinct differences in their personalities and goals, which could potentially lead to conflict in future story arcs. King Faelen was bothered by people not accepting one prince over the other, how would he divide his realm for his sons. The king as a father could not choose one over the other to give the power.
The time came as the king of Acacus was aware of his last breath. King Faelen Kaldwin had called the twin princes, Ferwend and Harwend, to his bedside as he prepared to pass the crown to them. A solemn mood filled the room and many of the kingdom's nobles were present to witness the historic moment.
"My beloved sons, it is with a heavy heart that I call you both to my bedside at this moment, for it is time to pass on my crown and legacy to you."
King Faelen's voice was solemn but firm as he addressed his twin sons.
"The duty of ruling is not an easy one, and I know there will be much for you both to learn. But I have absolute faith in your ability and integrity to lead Acacus into a new age. As your father, I could not be prouder of you both."
Ferwend and Harwend both knelt before their father and gave their pledge to protect the realm as one, regardless of their differences and disagreements. In a moving display of solidarity, the twins held hands as they made their vow to never divide the country and the people.
"We understand the gravity of the responsibility we are taking on, and you can rest easy knowing that Acacus will be in capable hands. As twins, we have been closer than brothers and have vowed to rule as one. Regardless of our differences, our unity is unshakable."
Ferwend and Harwend's voices were equally serious and sincere as they gave their response to King Faelen.
Despite their mutual respect, Ferwend and Harwend have always clashed on certain political issues and faced difficult decisions on how to solve them. Although they initially agreed to rule as one, it soon became apparent that they had very different views on how to lead the people and make important decisions for Acacious.
The rift between the twin rulers widened as each made the decision to separate and create their own empires, taking a chunk of supporters with them. The once-united Empire entered into a period of division.
Although they may have alienated the realm but they never changed their behaviour with one other they were very approachable and they fought their enemies standing shoulder to shoulder. They never made it seem like two different empires but the people gave them the names as Acecious (One whole strength) and Acacious (Only one strength). The motive in the decision of encouraging to divide the realm by the wives' and children was so that one of them could have greater power.
Harwend Kaldwin, ruler of Acacious and Ferwend Kaldwin, ruler of Acecious were so heroic and inspiring. Their relation so strong that no one dares to break it, solid nonentity can discourage them. They remain a legend to everyone, they may not keep their promise but protected what was dear to them. They died with honour and respect but forgotten along with the magic that soon died. The two countries were overwhelmed with anger, hatred and jealousy. There were very less people who were gifted with magic but all those people would never dare to use it for they would never live.
Centuries passed, a war between the two nations that never seemed to end, countless people died, not a soul tried to stop it. A prophecy was found kept within the library of the late king Faelen. The prophecy stated,
"Through ashes and conflict, the unwanted hero rises,
Driven by a thirst for revenge and guided by light.
A child consumes a power like non other,
aims for revenge and loses himself to another.
He is unstoppable and relentless, A new disaster he shall bring,
Uniting the realm with his wisdom, fate to be king.
When darkness threatened and the mind was weak,
The heart was saved, like a light in the night, becoming his losing streak."
No one truly recognizes the precise prophecy; the prophecy was ruined into their own liking. The main question asked was that, who is willing to stand up and be the hero no one asked for. It was as if a miracle, a child born in Acacious, a princess who showed signs of being able to absorb and practice magic like no other. The late king didn't want his daughter to do anything with the war but his son trained his sister after his parent's murder in sort of revenge. A little princess age seven training to be an assassin for the satisfaction for his brother. With the advantage there was a huge drawback.

This is just the beginning I am hoping you all like it so far.
Just to clear, there will be romance and more of war related stuff too, lots of plot twist and there would be only one POV. The prologue explains the history of the war and is helpful for the later part.
Anyways will be posting once a week hopefully.
