PROLOGUE

For millions of years,

Since the dawn of our memories, the Royals have ruled, with the Ancients by their sides. All species lived in peace and the kingdom in harmony with all surrounding it. But as the centuries dragged on, those with power grew more greedy and selfish; the Ancients, with their great knowledge, turned from the laws they created and turned against all who didn’t see their ways.

Lead by the Ancients, the Royals went against everything their ancestors built and turned a blind eye towards those they were born to protect, along with the secret that must always be kept hidden from mankind. Years went by and the Ancients still lead the Royals astray and created havoc in the kingdom, while the secret so long hidden was on the brink of being exposed, until…

One day, when a new ruler, Vasilis, took over the throne from his father, his reign seemed to bring an end to all evil in the kingdom. After many years in training by Ancients in secret, whom still followed the ways of the ancestors, Vasilis returned the kingdom to its old rule and banished all Ancients who were against him, along with all those who served in the Ancients’ plans.

And so the magical species turned against each other, dividing into two groups, those who stayed with the King and those they called the προδότης (prothoti/s), who turned against the royals and all who believed in them.

The kingdom was in peace for many years to come; the Ancients who did not turn away from the king were now the Elders of the Kingdom and were the wise advisors to King Vasilis. But, the peace did not last.

On the last year that King Vasilis was to rule and then be passed on to his son Leander, the προδότης attacked. In great numbers, they stormed the castle and killed all those in their way. With the προδότης Ancients at the rear, commanding them to fight, they left no one alive. Being unprepared, the royal army lost many soldiers and the προδότης quickly made their way to main hall where the royal family were, surrounded by their pure hearted warriors. The fighting began and the προδότης quickly eliminated their opponents until nothing stood between them and the royals. In one final strike, the royals had failed their people, as a dagger was pushed through the Kings heart and the world was once more a dark place as the last of the royals were slaughtered.

All hope was lost until, one prophecy hidden secret for centuries, was finally revealed and hope was restored in the people as whispered rumors spread and people were waiting for their leader to rise against the προδότης and lead them into victory and harmony. Though, no one could have expected who was to lead then into safety…
